In 1990 I graduated from Faulkner University with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and began teaching at Southside Middle School. During my thirty-one years of teaching, I coached football, baseball, and softball. I was a part of 5 baseball State Championships and 2 as Head Coach as well as one State Championship in softball as an Assistant Coach. My wife Melanie and I have been married for 23 years and we have three children Logan, Taylor, and Brandon. We love to spend our time together at the lake, fishing, and watching baseball.
