I am originally from Louisiana. I enlisted in the Coast Guard when I was
nineteen. I spent thirteen years on active duty while continuing to go to
college at night and on weekends. I graduated from Auburn University with a
B.S. in Secondary Education in Language Arts and History. I taught three
years at the high school level in Cobb County before moving to
Colorado and teaching there for two years. While living in Georgia, I earned
my M.A. in Humanities at the University of Central Michigan at Atlanta.
This is my eighth year at Parkview. I am the author of one published book
titled The Dead and the Dying. You can preview the first fifteen pages
online at www.lulu.com/content/1051828. This book is intended for a mature
audience. If you are under eighteen, get your parent's permission before
previewing or ordering the book.
My mission for every class is to stretch our minds to learn as much as
possible during this year. The brain is like any other muscle in the body;
the more you use it, the larger it gets.
