I hail from Louisiana, and following my high school graduation, I pursued higher education at the University of Mobile (UM), where I had the incredible privilege of participating in basketball. My academic journey culminated in the attainment of a Bachelor of Arts degree from UM. Since 2010, I've had the immense pleasure of educating 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students in the subject of Art at Saraland Middle School, a role that has fulfilled my lifelong aspiration. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, my leisure time is filled with a variety of interests, including fishing of all kinds, attending sporting events, and cherishing moments with my wife and our two sons.
