Hello!  Thank you for visiting this page about me.  To start things off, I grew up in rural Mississippi in a town named Star, located just east of Jackson.  I attended First Presbyterian Day School in Jackson, MS until grade 6 and then moved to Dallas, TX.  After that time I moved back to Madison, MS and attended high school at Madison Central in 2005.  I spent time in the military and decided I loved fostering the mind and character of a child.  So,  I graduated Magna Cum Laude from The University of South Alabama in 2014 with a collaborative degree in Elementary Education and Special Education.  While I am not at work or at school I enjoy the outdoors.  I basically live outside.  Nature is full of wonder and endless possibilities, therefore, I plan on breathing in as much beauty as I can before my body decides it cannot do it anymore.  In 2014 my wife Kristen and I had our first son, Briggs!  It has been a long journey, but I am excited and passionate about teaching here at Loxley Elementary.
