Biography
I attended and graduated from Seguin High School in 1993. I then attended Blinn College in College Station, Tx. I moved back to Seguin in 1995 and attended San Antonio College while working full time.
I married my wife Teri, who also works for N.E.I.S.D., in 2001. In 2003, we had a beautiful daughter, Aubri. In 2005, I decided to go back to school and graduated among the first graduating class of Texas A&M San Antonio in 2010. I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts and Sciences with an emphasis in History. During that time we welcomed a beautiful boy into our lives in 2006, Brady. My first job was as a Special Education co-teach during the 2010-2011 school year. I then taught U.S. History, World History and World Geography at Madison High School. I wanted to try my hand in coaching and moved to Driscoll Middle School. I will be a 7th grade football coach, 8th grade basketball coach and track coach too.
I am an avid outdoorsman who loves to fish and hunt. During the summer, you can most likely find me at the coast fishing. I love to go camping. I love watching my kids play their activities. I also love to watch ALL football, especially if it has to do with the Cowboys or the Fighten' Texas Aggies!!
I look forward to meeting you all and having a wonderful year! Go Defenders!!
