I was born in Murray, Kentucky. I graduated high school from Union County High School in Kentucky. I attended Missouri Valley College and majored in Cross-Categorical Education and minored in Elementary Education.    

    I have two sisters and a brother. My wife, Rachael, and I have three children: two sons, Bryson, 15, and Tucker,  4, and one daughter Breanna, 12. In my spare time I enjoy wrestling, softball, rugby, and playing cards.

    I taught for two years at Malta Bend and am currently in my 4th year at Slater. I also coach Jr. High football and High School baseball.
