I graduated from Murray State University with both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees and received my EL Endorsement from Tennessee Tech. I have taught Spanish, German and ESL, Kindergarten through college (graduate & post graduate), at home and abroad, in traditional and online classrooms for over twenty-five years. I have been with RMS since 2007. Each day, I look forward to those "Ah-hah!" moments in my students' eyes - that is my purpose, to inspire my students to success. Aside from work, my wife and I have been married for over 28 years and have two sons. I enjoy cooking, growing tropical plants, and have been a beekeeper for around 20 years. I currently teach ESL and am the RMS Chess Coach and Energy Champion.
