Hi!  I'm excited to be returning to the Golden Eagle family for a third year!  My wife and I relocated to Athens from Queen Creek, Arizona and love this area!  Originally from Danville, Illinois, I'm happy to be closer to my family in the midwest.  We have two daughters; Allie lives in Tucson, Arizona and Courtney lives in Memphis, Tennessee.  This past April, our granddaughter, Ryan turned 2.

I attended Eastern Illinois University on an Athletic Scholarship for Baseball and graduated in 1990.  After being selected in the 15th round of the 1988 MLB Draft, I played two years in the SF Giants organization.  I began my teaching career and have been coaching sports including baseball, football, wrestling and girls' softball since the fall of 1990.  In 2006, I earned my Master's Degree from the University of Phoenix in Adult Education.  

I am excited to be a part of the Athens High School Varsity Baseball Coaching Staff.  When I'm not teaching or coaching, you might find me exploring the awesome local lakes chasing bass.
