I am originally from California. I am a retired Army veteran with over 21 years of service as an Infantry soldier with 3 years spent as a Drill Sergeant at Fort Benning GA. I was stationed with the 101st on 3 occasions before retiring from the service as a Screaming Eagle. Upon retiring I attended college at APSU, where I earned a B.S. in History/Geography and a teaching certificate; I have also earned a Master’s Degree in Military History and a Graduate Certificate in Securities Studies. I have been married for over 37 years with a married son in the U.S. Army and a married daughter who earned a degree at Austin Peay State University majoring in English. So, you can see how important I hold education and service to this great nation. This will start my 14th year at Rossview. I am very excited at having this opportunity to teach your students. I know this will be a great year. I truly look forward to meeting you and watching all students grow throughout the year.
