I'm a Mississippi native and North Carolina transplant, I'm a lifelong business man, coach, and educator, who developed my leadership and discipline from his Mother and Father, who were career educators. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science from the University of Southern Mississippi, Master of Education in Educational Leadership from the University of Texas at Tyler as well as educator license in Mississippi, Texas, and Michigan. I've served as a TV & Radio Sports personality while in college and became a proud and successful entrepreneur/owner of a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) logistics company during the 90's, as well as owning my own construction company for several years, before transitioning into education.
