I was born and raised in Oxford, Alabama, where I graduated from high school in 2002. I attended the University of Alabama and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I received my Masters in Education from the University of West Alabama in 2014. I have previously taught at Sylacauga High School, where I coached Girls Soccer and taught Science, and Piedmont High School, where I coached Wrestling and taught both History and Science. I moved to Bob Jones in the fall of 2022 to coach wrestling and teach science and engineering. My wife, Emily, and I have an amazing young daughter named Gigi.
