Born and raised in Chesapeake, VA, I'm the oldest of 3 children, of Carlton, an engineer technician, and Phyllis, a math teacher.  I initially had no interest in becoming a teacher, but now consider it to be one of the best decisions I ever made.

The most important decision I ever made was to follow Jesus Christ; my life has never been the same.  It's because of Him, I decided to teach.

I enjoy participating in sports, cooking, reading, playing music, watching movies, and simply having fun.  I look forward to teaching and influencing the lives of the future.
