After high school, I served in the U.S. Navy Seabees for ten years. I deployed to Spain, Somalia, Diego Garcia, Italy, Oman and Bahrain with NMCB 40 and then transferred to the Navy EOD School. After serving, I was employed as a foreman for a General Contractor in New Jersey for a few years. I then earned my degree in Construction Management from University of Houston and started my own company for a couple of years before deciding to teach here in Huntsville. I enjoy traveling and camping with my family. I have 2 daughters and have been married for 25 years. I love teaching Construction and I am super excited that our seniors will be building a house this year! A program we will have for the next 5 years as of this writing!
