I have a wife who works in the school district. I have two children. My daughter went through the RayPec school district her entire life. My son has also gone to RayPec his entire life and is currently at the high school. I have two dogs; a basset hound and a blood hound. My hobbies include hunting, fishing, construction, and being with my family. I have been teaching since 1995. I attended Longview Community College and received a degree in Drafting and Design, I receive my undergraduate degree from CMSU in Industrial Technology and Teaching. I received a Masters degree in Teaching from Webster University. My simple philosophy of education is that I want to give my students as much knowledge as I can so that they have the confidence and skills to build whatever they can dream.
