I have been teaching Texas and American History at Clark Middle School since 1999.  I have a wife, Rebecca, and a daughter, Haven.  We live in the Princeton area and attend the First United Methodist Church.  We love this community and are very proud to be a part of it.  We are not from this area but are very happy to be here.
    I am originally from the swamplands of Southeast Texas.  My hometown is Winnie, Texas (Yes! its even smaller than Princeton) and I attended East Chambers High School.  I graduated from Texas A&M University and received my teacher certification from the University of Texas at Dallas.
    Before becoming a teacher I did many different things.  I was a chef, Boy Scout Executive, professional trainer, standardized test scorer, Camp Director and counselor for emotional distrubed teenagers.  I love working with young people, I love history and I love teaching, so I decided to become a  history teacher.  I have taught at Clark Junior High and I currently teach at Princeton High School.  My only real handicap is I can be quite shy and reserved, especially in front of a group of people. (Being in my class or hearing me speak will probably give you a good idea about the accuracy of that last remark)
