I am so grateful to be part of the North Johnston school and community. I was born and raised in Chicago (our family bleeds Chicago Bear blue and orange!) - then served in the United States Marine Corps during Desert Storm. Upon finishing college, I began teaching  Social Studies and coaching football - basketball - baseball in Phoenix Arizona and here in NC for the past 20 plus years - so grateful for all of the students - families - and school family I have worked with along the way. I am blessed to have my family and our faith as we open this new chapter with you at NJHS!
