3 /4 Sci. / S.S. Teacher

Recently retired from Metro Nashville Public Schools after 22 years. I am married to my wife Kimberly Regina for more than 15 years. Together we have 5 sons, 1 daughter, 2 daughter-in-laws, 11 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. I enjoy writing songs, playing video games (XBOX and Pokemon Go), critiquing media (movies and TV series), being outside, and serving others. I believe that when we work to empower others we become the light that we so desperately need. I studied at American Baptist College, 1995, BA Biblical Theology, Social Sciences Emphisis on Psychology and Tennessee State University, 1999, MA K-8 Elementary Education, Early Childhood.

3 / 4 Math Teacher

I am from Columbia and graduated from SHHS. I attained my bachelor's in interdisciplinary studies K-6 from MTSU and my master's in educational leadership from Carson-Newman University. I have been married for 14 years and we have two sons, two cats, a dog, and two frogs! I love spending time outdoors with my family, reading, cooking, and all things Harry Potter. Teaching math has been my passion since my first year in the classroom. I am so excited to continue serving the students of our county at Riverside Elementary!
