I am a graduate of Johnson High School Class of 1985

I have a Bachelors in Biological Sciences/ Minor in Chemistry  UAH 1992

And a Masters in Biological Sciences UAH 1997

I am a participant in Alabama Science in Motion and frequently attend workshops and educational experiences offered by Hudson Alpha and the American Chemical Society in Huntsville.

I started teaching in 1993 at Huntsville High School filling in for a teacher with a broken leg.  Two weeks in I got an offer to go to Grissom High School in Huntsville where I spent 13 years teaching Biology, Chemistry, and AP Biology.

 As gas approached $3 a gallon and my children were getting closer to high school age, I decided to come to Bob Jones.  This is my seventh year at Bob Jones where I have taught AP Chemistry and Chemistry.  I am also the Science department chair and King of the Chemistry Lab responsible for ordering, maintaining equipment and general upkeep.

I am an AP reader spending one week every summer grading AP free response (essay) questions.  I've done this now for 9 years and I've learned so much about the AP program from this and it is the best professional development you could have.

I am a graduate of Johnson High in Huntsville, I've lived in Alabama since I was four so I'm pretty much a native.

I love all things bacon, bbq, meat in general, woodworking and teaching.

My lovely wife Donna and my two kids Chris, who is a freshman at Miss State, and Sarah, who is a 10th grader at Bob Jones, live in Madison along with our two dogs Harley and Murphy.
