I am a Florida native, born and raised in the Tampa Bay area.  I attended Santa Fe Community College and received my AA degree, while also playing in the University of Florida Marching Gator Band.  I then attended the University of Florida and graduated with my Bachelor's in History and Master's in Social Studies Education.  I am certified in both Social Studies and Math.  This is my 5th year at DHS, and my 11th year in education, having previously been a substitute and a full time teacher in Seminole and Volusia counties.  I live in Ocala with my wife and 2 cats, Frank and Lucy.  I enjoy playing video games, reading, and running.  I love all things Star Wars and Marvel/DC related things.
