I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Mathematics from Abilene Christian University (Go Wildcats!). I then taught 3 years of 8th grade math in Guthrie , Oklahoma. My wife and I decided to return home in 1998 where I began teaching 8th grade math at West Middle School.  In 2006, I became assistant principal at West and two years later became the principal at West. In 2017 I moved to Liberal High School as an Assistant Principal.
