About The Teacher

Starting my 13th year at the Talented and Gifted Magnet High School and 
looking forward to an exciting year. Have worked for Dallas ISD for 17 years 
including duties as a TAP high school teacher in special education and a 
high school social studies teacher at the Juvenile Justice Center. 

Before starting in education, served a tour of duty in the U. S. Air Force 
as a firefighter and spent several years in fire protection in the private 
sector. 

My wife Sue and I have been married for 30 years and we have two sons Kyle 
and Steven. Sue works in the health care field. Kyle, and his wife Jenny are 
both graduates from UNT and make their home near Washington D. C. where Kyle 
works as a government contractor and Jenny works in public relations at a 
national historic site. Steven also is a graduate from UNT and 
works near Houston as a Fire Marshal. Sue and I also own an antique business.

Hobbies; we enjoy the outdoors, deep sea and surf fishing, traveling, 
reading, farming, and sometimes just riding around on my tractor. 
Also enjoy volunteering at the American Red Cross.

I have a graduate degree from the University of Texas at Arlington with a 
major in Political Science and serve as an Adjunt Faculty Member for Navarro 
College.
