About Me
I have lived a very interesting life in my short 46 years. I am the son of two US Army Veterans and I too, am a US Army Combat Veteran. I have traveled to 46 countries in my lifetime and plan to do more traveling very soon. I am a loving single father to 3 daughters and 1 son, which I raised by myself, and they are my life. I am a devoted son to my best friend and partner in crime, my darling mom. I am truly transparent in the things that encompass my life; I am the biggest Michael Jackson fan on earth, I love old black and white movies, I am a diehard Philly Eagles, OU Sooners, and Atlanta Braves fanatic. I am also a lover of all thing’s music, as I have been a DJ for over 30 years and worked in some major clubs all over the country. I am also a writer and am in the process of completing my first two books to be published soon. I have a zest for life, love to laugh and make those around me laugh and have love for all mankind.

Why I Teach
I have known all of my life that I was made to be a teacher. I started my journey as an educator in the US Army as a Chemical Operations Instructor. I love the fact that I can impart knowledge to the future leaders of tomorrow. Seeing the pure joy and light in their eyes the first time they learn something new for the first time, is totally gratifying. My favorite quote is “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born…and the day you find out why!” - Mark Twain
