About Me
I am passionate about US History! My love for history began as I moved from one coast to the other as a child. I graduated high school in Colstrip, Montana from an American Indian School (as one of six non reservation students in my class). I earned my first Bachelor's Degree from Liberty University in Accounting with a double minor in Computer Science and Political Science.  The experience I had as an Intern on Capital Hill during the Reagan administration gave me a love for our political system and an greater understanding of how it works.

It was after 9/11 that I went back to school and completed my teaching certification from Appalachian State University. I have been here at NIMS for seven years.

I have been married to the love of my life for 26 years.  We have three great grown children, a son serving in local law enforcement, a second son serving as a local EMT and pursuing a degree in ministry, and a daughter pursuing a degree in nursing.
