Manatee Community College

Manatee Community College

I was born and raised in the "coalfields" area of southwestern West Virginia. My father, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers were all coal miners. Seeing photos of my grandpa working in the coal mine at age 12 made me really appreciate the priviledges modern Americans enjoy, particularly the ready access we have to quality education. Our educational system truly sets us apart from much of the world.
As I grew up I began to enjoy helping my friends study and learn, especially in mathematics. I have ALWAYS wanted to be a math teacher. I attended Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia (GO HERD!) where I received my Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees in mathematics. After leaving Marshall I taught at West Virginia State College and Morehead State University (in Kentucky) before returning to Marshall to pursue my doctoral degree. I received my Doctor of Education degree from Marshall in 2003.
