I am a Pirate through and through. I received a BA in Physical Education and a Masters in Health Education from East Carolina University.
I began my teaching and coaching career in 2000 at New Bern High School as the Defensive Coordinator. While on staff with New Bern we went to the NCHASS State Championship game in 2003, 2004, 2005 and won the State Championship in 2007. In 2003 I had the opportunity to coach the linebackers in the North Carolina/South Carolina Shrine Bowl. In 2008 my family and I moved to Scotland County where I was the Defensive Coordinator for two years.
In 2010 I became the head coach for Jacksonville High School.
