I am a life long resident of Tipton County. I am married to Mary Catherine Jones, a teacher at Crestview Middle School. We have a daughter, Beth, who is a dental hygenist and a son, Russ, who teaches at Brighton Middle School. I am the proud grandfather of two. Aubree is a fourth grade student at BES and Cade is in the four year old class at the TCPS.
I earned my B.S. from UT Martin and my M.Ed. from the University of Memphis. I taught for four years and have been in school administration for thirty-six years. I chose teaching as a career because I felt I would make a difference in the lives of our youth. My hobbies are golf, gardening, and running.
