I was born in Hickory, N.C. and have lived here for all but two years of my life.  I enjoy sports, family, my church, friends, and my job.  I graduated from Western Carolina University in December of 1997.  I taught and coached baseball and football at South Caldwell High School for 12 years.  I later enrolled at Gardner Webb University where I earned a Masters Degree in Education Administration.  I was an Assistant Principal at  South Iredell High School before joining the Lakeshore Middle family in January 2013.  I truly believe that it is a blessing to be at Lakeshore Middle School and I couldn't ask for a better group of teachers and students to serve and share time with on a daily basis.
