I teach classes in mathematics, social studies, science, creative writing, and physical education. Prior to my work at Kingfisher, I worked in both private and public schools in Georgia and Alabama. I received my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Alabama. My wife, Anne, is an attorney, and we've been residents of Grant Park for over 10 years.

I always knew that I wanted and needed to work at a small community-based school and Kingfisher is the embodiment of that desire. I am very enthusiastic about our new site and our current school year. We are networking with a few other small schools and I am working with a new charter high school that has exciting plans that might include some of the older students in our school. We have modest goals for each quarter, but this year our goal is much larger. We are working toward accreditation from GAC to validate our coursework. We are also codifying the board of directors and reviewing our legal paperwork and insurance paperwork in preparation for writing some larger grants to support our art, music, and science programs. Kingfisher is a wonderful and challenging environment and we intend to keep it that way.

However, I have also taught elementary and high school. My main teaching field is Language Arts, but, in addition, I have taught in the English Education Department, focusing on courses that teach high school educators how and what literature to teach in their classes. Another area in which I taught is in film and literature. I spent several summers teaching the South Carolina Honors Creative Writing Program for high school seniors at the College of Charleston. Presently, I am giving all my energy to the Language Arts program at Kingfisher Academy. My teaching philosophy is simple. First, love what you do so that you are happy each day--it shows in your performance. Second, create a nurturing, caring environment for your students and never forget that parents have trusted you with the most precious part of their lives. Third, respect each child for his or her potential as an educated human being. Fourth, remember that "kids are kids"--education can be fun and exciting. As teachers, it is our job to make it so. My other interests (besides reading and writing) are sewing, quilting, embroidery, and gardening.
