I am a teacher with 35 years of experience, including five years teaching for the US military as a DOD Contractor. In 1999 I was awarded the United Nations Peacekeeper Medal for working inside Bosnia and Herzegovina educating peace keeping forces serving as part of Operation Joint Forge. I also was able to teach in the English (UK) public school system for 3 years. I am excited and privileged to teach at Frenship HS. I am here to both educate and encourage the FHS students to prepare for what is beyond the graduation ceremony; be it higher education, the military, or entering the workforce. I graduated from TTU in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education and I was a member of GSE (Geosciences Honor Fraternity) with a 3.85 GPA in the Geoscience Department at TTU. In 2014 I was selected by the USAF/USAFA as the Southwest Region Aerospace Teacher of the Year in part for my effort at teaching astronomy to GSA, BSA, and Civil Air Patrol Cadets across the region. I am the former commander of the Lubbock Civil Air Patrol and obtained the rank of Major before retiring from the program

On June 14, 2023 I became a published author with my first Young Adult book "Digby the Church Mouse: Saving Home" going on sale at both Amazon.com and Barnes and Nobles Online. Since then a have created a second edition of the 1958 trilogy written by Sir James Bisset and improved the original by adding pictures of most of the ships he served on along with several AI scenes and pictures. On August 6, 2025 I released my 5th book and my first attempt at the commercial fiction market.
