About Me

I have been teaching in South Carolina since 1994, after leaving law enforcement for the classroom, and I greatly enjoy working at Dorman High School and in District Six, where the sense of family is evident.  In 1992, I joined the United States Navy as a Master-at-Arms.  I retired in August of 2022 as a Chief Petty Officer after I returned from an overseas contingency deployment with NSW DEVGRU.  I have also been a member of the NCIS SE Field Office and Carrier Strike Group Four.  The thousands of miles and years of serving both abroad and domestically allow me a unique opportunity to enrich my lessons for my students.  My wife, herself a product of Dorman High School, provides leadership as the Assistant Superintendent for Academics and Accreditation, and our daughter also graduated from Dorman.  We are a Gamecock family, love God, love America, and adore our English Springer Spaniel, 3 Golden Retrievers, and one crazy cat!
