I grew up in a small town out in West Texas called Grandfalls. I graduated high school in 1995 and began attending Texas Tech University. I graduated from Texas Tech in 1999 with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and with a double minor in History and Communication Studies. I began my teaching career in Midland, Texas teaching history at Goddard Jr. High. I moved to El Paso, Texas in 2004 to teach and coach at the high school level in Fabens, Texas. I was hired by Plano ISD in 2011, and began at Bowman Middle School. After my first year in the district, I transferred over to Shepton High School in 2012. I have been here at Shepton teaching Professional Communications and coaching football and basketball.
