I graduated in 2005 from East Carolina University with a Master's Degree in Sports Administration. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in 2003 in Physical Education.
As an undergraduate I worked in Recreational Services in the Intramural Department as a Sports Official in Flag Football, Basketball, and Softball. I was an All Campus Selection in each of those sports several times. I officiated extramural tournaments in Wilmington, Chapel Hill, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, and New Orleans. My biggest accolade was being selected as an All American Flag Football Official in 2003 where I was one of the top 20 collegiate flag football officials in the country. My "stripes" were retired in 2007 as I was selected for the ECU Recreational Services Wall of Fame.
As a Graduate Student, I was the Assistant Coordinator for Club Sports.
I was also active in my fraternity, Delta Chi, where I served multiple leadership positions including Intramural Chairman, Alumni Relations Officer, Associate Member Chairman, and Alumni Board of Trustees. I was also a founding member of the Cape Fear Delta Chi Alumni Chapter.
This school year, I will be coaching at North Johnston as the Defensive Line coach. In addition to coaching, I also will be an official for the NCHSAA in basketball, baseball, and softball. I also have taken a course to obtain my Driver Education Instructor Certification making me eligible to teach Drivers Education.
I have two children, Spencer, age 15 and Dottie, age 14. They attend high school at Millbrook High School in Raleigh. I enjoy playing golf in my free time. I also enjoy live music, and attending various festivals. Life is an adventure. It should be new every day.
