I graduated from the College of Charleston in December of 1981 with a BS in
Education. I have a M.ED from the Citadel with an emphasis in Physical
Education; and a Ph.D from The Ohio State University with an emphasis in
Adapted Physical Education. Since January 4, 1982, I have been teaching
Special Education or Physical Education at the K-5 or K-8 levels. I also
teach an Education course at the College of Charleston. I have an extensive
background in swimming, and have been coaching swimming since 1978.
Presently, we are teaching swim lessons to multiple groups of first graders
at OGECS. I also coach the Boys' Basketball Team which plays in a 9-10 year
old league at St. Joseph Catholic Church.
My goal is to introduce the students to all sorts of games and activities,
and improve their locomotor and manipulative skills. With these skills they
will feel comfortable and competent and want to get outside and be active
with their family and friends. Hopefully, this will lead to a continuing
lifestyle of being active and physically fit.
