I was born and raised in a small town in Western Michigan. I attended Michigan State University, where I obtained a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice. After graduation, I began a career in Law Enforcement as a police officer. After 15 years of service, I decided to change my profession and became a teacher/coach. I began my teaching career at Navasota ISD as a Special Education teacher. After 5 years at Navasota and 2 Football State Championships (2012 & 2014), I migrated south to the Cy Fair Independent School District. At Langham Creek, I taught Physical Education and was the Strength and Conditioning Coordinator. After 5 years in this position, I migrated again just a little further south to  Travis High School. This will be my first year at Travis High School and I will be a Special Education teacher. I will also be coaching the Defensive Line for the football team.

When I am not teaching or coaching I enjoy spending time with my family. I am a father of 7 kids and a grandfather of 2.
