I have been employed with this District since the 2018-2019 school year and started out as an Inclussion Aid and Coach. I started teaching in the Classroom school year 2020-2021, so this will be my 7^th year at the school and 5^th year in the classroom. I taught Texas History the first 4 years and currently teaching a couple classes of 8^th grade U.S. History. I am also the Middle School Girls Athletic Coordinator for this upcoming year coaching Cross Country, Girls Track and Field, 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade Girls Athletics.

In 1992 I joined the U.S. Army and served as an Infantryman until I retired as a Rifle Company First Sergeant in 2013. I have accumilated four Combat deployments (51 months) in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Over my 21 year career as a Soldier I have accumilated numerous awards for Achievment, Meritorious service, and Valor. My top 3 awards was the Bronze Star with Valor and two Oakleaf Clusters, Purple Heart, and Meritorious Service Medal with two Oackleaf Clusters.

My military career has had big impact on how I teach. I am very stuctured, discipline oriented, and punctual. My expectations for the class is the same.

I’ve been married to the love of my life Kristie for 12 years, my wife works at the Intermediate Campus with 5^th grade SPED. I have 5 children, 4 have graduated and living their life in the real world, my youngest is at the Intermediate Campus starting the 3^rd Grade. I live on a small farm/ranch so I have lots of animals I care for. I have 11 cows, 1 Horse, 1 pony, and 2 cats.

When I am not teaching or coaching, most of my time is spent on taking care of the property. There is always something that needs to be done. But when I have the chance, I like to golf, fish, hunt, and of course relax on a beach.
