Personal:

I am currently serving as a fulltime assistant professor at Texas Wesleyan University while completing a doctorate in eductional administration at the University of North Texas. I am excited to be working with the faculty, staff and students of Texas Wesleyan. I am expecting a fantastic and rewarding experience.

My educational experience includes 8 years as a science teacher at both the middle and high school level. I coached for four years as well. I have served as an assistant principal at both the middle and high school level for the last 6 years. I have had the pleasure of teaching for Texas Wesleyan as an adjunt since 2004.

In my free time which is actually oxymoronic, I play with my daughter Madison, and help my wife with the triplets, Halee, Lacey and Kayela. I also like to cycle, exercise, golf and shoot hoops. My wife is very supportive and understanding and she I enjoying the occassional dinner and movie. She is pretty good about watching sports with me, but I also want it on the record that I have watched Steel Magnolias more than once, which is not something I am sure I should be admitting.
