"After attending a state university and teaching in a public school, it has been a blessing to be in Christian education for these past 30 years. Training students from a Biblical perspective has proven to be a life changing experience. My goal for students has always been to give their best to the Lord spiritually, academically, socially, and athletically. It is also, for me as a teacher, to maintain zeal about teaching that would inspire students to continue in the field of education upon their graduation from CCC."

Interests: Golf, biking, camping, being with family
