I am so excited to begin teaching at Washington Park Elementary School!  I live in Flovilla, Georgia with my wife of eleven years and my two youngest daughters (ages 3 and <1).  My family enjoys singing and playing music games together.  We have two dogs, and a little vegetable garden.  My oldest daughter is in college and also a son who is finishing high school in Harris County.  

I earned my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from the University of Georgia in Athens.  I began teaching middle school band in 1999, and in 2008 I began teaching at Jasper County Middle School.  My music study concentrated on band class instruments and performance, but I am very excited to learn and teach the music classes at WPES.  

My hope is for every student to understand the importance and value music plays in their lives.
