Hello! I am an eighth grade math teacher at Ronald Thorton Middle School. I have been teaching since 2005,starting in HISD, then bringing my talents to FBISD in 2014, for which I now call home. It's truly a privilege to share my passion and knowledge of mathematics and its processes with each and every student.  Our department has maintained a path of upward momentum as we strive to reach new heights in growth and student achievement.

I am originally from Beaumont, TX and a graduate of Lamar University.  I am a certified chef that enjoys baking various desserts and preparing an array of savory dishes.  As a country boy by nature, I love walking through the woods, hunting, and fishing.
