Bio:

I am married to my high school sweetheart, Chad. We live in Hillsboro with our 2 beautiful daughters, Haleigh and Taylor. Haleigh is a 1st grade teacher with Manchester City Schools. Taylor is a senior at Austin Peay State University majoring in Pre-Vet and minoring in Biology and Chemistry. We have 1 dog, Rufus, and 2 cats, Marvin and Teddy. We are actively involved in our church, Shady Grove Church of the Nazarene in Decherd. We are also big UT VOLS fans!!!!! GO BIG ORANGE!!!! I love collecting pigs of any kind and spending time with my family. I have always wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. To me, teaching is a passion, not a job. :)
