I was born and raised in Waco, Texas, where I graduated from A.J. Moore Academy.

I went into the Army not to long after that, spending three and a half years active and ten and a half years in the Texas Army National Guard. I deployed to Iraq twice, deployed to Kuwait once and spent a year in Korea. 

Though I did earn my Associate's of Applied Science from Texas State Technical College -Go Tornadoes- in Waco, it was right after the housing market burst, and my construction degree was not very marketable.  After my last deployment, I felt called to be a teacher and decided to pursue my Math degree at the University of Texas at San Antonio-Birds Up!! 

My mentor during student teacher was the department chair at Wagner, and I have been a Thunderbird ever since. I absolutely love teaching here, each and every day. 

My wife and I have three daughters, Jasmine (15), Lillian (13) and Jai'La (2). Jass is attending her first year of high school here at Wagner.

I also sponser the WHS Chess Club. It's our inaugural year, and I'm hoping it'll create a great foundation for the years to come.
