I graduated from East Davidson in 1997. I began my college career at Western Carolina University as a math education major, but graduated from Winston-Salem State University in 2010 with a degree in physical education. I also graduated from Concordia University-Irvine in 2017 with a Master's degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration.
I have taught at Ledford Middle School, South Davidson Middle School, South Davidson High School, and Ledford High School.
