I grew up in Monterey, TN, on the Cumberland Plateau where my parents instilled within me a need to serve others and help people. Because of their influences I decided to attend Tennessee Tech University to become a teacher and a baseball coach. Since that time I have earned a Master’s Degree in education. I’m now ready to start my 21st year as a teacher and baseball coach. I have served and led students in three different communities in Tennessee, and I have made my home in Smyrna where I have taught and coached for 17 years.
In 2010 I married Olivia, and we have been blessed with two daughters, Sofia and Caroline. I am member of the United Methodist Church. My grandfather set an example of service through the church by going on mission trips to build schools and by helping people in his community.It is my goal as a public servant to help all in need
