From Mr. Yoder:

            I am originally from Sarasota, Florida.  I graduated from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida where I majored in education with an English endorsement.  While at Southeastern I played soccer and was named an all-conference player. 
            While touring with a promotional team from the University I met my wife, Angela, in West Tennessee, and after completing my degree moved to this area and began teaching and coaching soccer.  Although Angela has lived here all her life, I have lived here since 1990.  We married in 1990 and have two children.
            My mission in the classroom is to give my students a new impetus to read, write, and think on a more critical level.
