I'm proud to say I'm a product of Clarksville, Tennessee-raised in a community shaped by resilience, diversity and deep military roots. I attended Kenwood Middle School and graduated from Kenwood High School, Class of 2006, so when I say I bleed Black & Gold, I mean it.

Now my 8th year in education-all spent right here on the Kenwood campus-I've had the privilege of teaching English Language Arts, Math and now Career and Technical Education (CTE).

Outside the classroom, I'm a proud parent of 3 sons (Brian, James and C.J.) and a grandparent to a beautiful granddaughter (Jiselle). They remind me daily why mentorship and guidance matter. I bring that same energy into teaching.

Kenwood isn't just where I work-it's where I grew up, where I give back and where I continue to grow alongside the next generation.
