About MeTeaching is a second career for me after a 14 year career as a structural engineer. I have lived in Murfreesboro since 2000 and have two children, Joseph and Allyssa, along with a Golden Doodle named Bella.
I grew up in Athens, TN and graduated from McMinn County High School in 1992. I received an Associate of Science from Cleveland State Community College in 1994. In 1997, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and received my Master of Science in 1998, both from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. While working for Carpenter Wright Engineers, I designed the structures for retail, schools, hospital among other types of buildings. Some of the buildings that I designed are 2525 West End that is adjacent to Vanderbilt's football stadium, the outdoor retail area and the Books-A-Million at Stones River Mall and Covenant Presbyterian Church in Nashville. Prior to coming to Central, I taught Intro to Computer Aided Drafting and Design at Middle Tennessee State University. While at Central, I have taught Honors Physics, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2 and ACT - Science Prep. I have also coached both the middle and high school archery teams to state championships. |
