� I have a Bachelor and Master�s degree from The University of Southern Mississippi. (You may have heard of the star quarterback from my college days---his name is Brett Favre).
� While a student at USM, I lived in Mexico for a semester studying Spanish in Cuernavaca.
� In addition to teaching in Mississippi, I have also taught in Colorado Springs and Olympia, WA. They are two of the most beautiful places in the USA.
� I have taught English, Spanish, and English as a Second Language. I've taught 8th-12th grade and also a year at The Evergreen State College. This is my 13th year to teach!
� This is my fifth year teaching at McNeil High School.
� I have 2 kids: Gray, who is a third grader, and Henry, who is less than a year old.
� When I�m not grading essays (which is usually always), I like to play soccer, practice yoga, and garden. I also read A LOT.
� I am the sponsor of the McNeil Book Club.
