Born and raised in Fort Worth. Attended TCU on a scholarship graduating in 1987. Upon graduation I worked for Ford Motor Credit. After 4 years with Ford I made a life changing decision to use my education degree to teach. I still remain extremely active as a professional musician playing saxophone with local and national acts.

Born in Iowa and attended Ashford University. Before teaching I was the Lead Disaster Director for the American Red Cross for 13 years. In 2004 I decided it was time to put my teaching skills to use. I love to see how my students grow throughout the year.
