Greetings, I am a native of Belmont, NC. I currently reside in Dallas, NC.  This is my second year at East Lincoln Middle. I transitioned from Belmont Middle School two years ago. I love East Lincoln Middle School. The staff that I work with here are fantastic. This is my fourteenth year teaching S.T.E.M. I graduated from Appalachian State University in 1995 with a degree in Industrial Technology. I also hold a Masters of Divinity from Gardner Webb University. I am currently working on my Doctor of Ministry from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Along with teaching, I am also a pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC. Until this year, I was involved with coaching High School football. Last year I was an assistant football coach at East Lincoln High School and the baseball coach here at East Lincoln Middle. I love teaching and preparing students for their future.
