"I am in my eleventh year as a public school teacher with the Rankin County School District, where I have taught English for ten years and led ACT preparation classes. Before that, I spent three years teaching GED courses at the South Mississippi Correctional Institution, where our program helped a record number of students earn their GEDs.

Outside the classroom, I have been married for 25 years, and my wife and I have raised five children, now ages 16 to 23. I have served (and still do) as a pastor for nearly thirty years, which has deepened my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and learning styles.

I hold two degrees in religion and church history from Liberty University and Liberty Theological Seminary, and earned my teaching certification through the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). My teaching philosophy centers on meeting students where they are, building confidence, and helping them succeed through patient, focused, and engaging instruction.

I truly love teaching and take joy in helping others grow and reach their goals. I would be honored to help you or your student achieve academic success." less...
