Bio:
I currently teach computer apps at my local middle school. I love sports of all kinds, and love being outdoors. I was All-State in football in high school and All-Conference in baseball. I got a full academic scholarship to Gardner-Webb University, and recieved an invite to walk-on. Played one year and decided chasing women appealed more to me than chasing running backs. Graduated 07 with BA Social Sciences Magna cum laude. Spent the years since then in Florida, Eastern NC, and some in Virginia. Moved back home in 09 to chase my dream of coaching football and being vastly underpaid. Managed to convince my loving wife to share my life of underpaid bliss in may of 2011. We now both teach and she coaches the cross country team and track team.
