I am from Hokes Bluff, Alabama, where I went to Elementary, Middle and High School. I received an Associates degree from Wallace State C.C. in Hanceville, Alabama while on a baseball scholarship. I received a Bachelors in Physical Education from Faulkner University, and also played baseball there as well. I received a Masters in Educational Administration from UWA. I served as Assistant Principal at CCHS for 19 years before being named Principal at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year.

I have been married to my wife and fellow educator, Tracey, for 25 years. We have 3 children, Casen, Pace, and Kendal. We reside in Grove Hill.
