About Me

I was born and raised in Mississippi.   After graduating high school, I 
attended Mississippi State University. I was commissioned as an Air Force 
officer after completing ROTC at MSU.  I served over 20 years on active duty, 
lived in numerous places around the globe, and retired from the Air Force at 
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.  I briefly worked with college students at a 
major university before moving to Lexington, Tennessee and becoming a Junior 
ROTC instructor.  I am in my fourth year of teaching and mentoring high 
school cadets in order to help them become "citizens of character", and I 
truly love my job!  My wife and I have three wonderful daughters.
