I am a sixth grade teacher at Union Chapel Elementary School in Pembroke, NC. My main areas of instruction are social studies and science. However, as our school's webmaster and administrator over software managment programs, I teach a lot about using technology both to our teachers and students. I live in Chadbourn, NC where my wife and I are remodeling a circa. 1882 house we moved to her parent's farm in 1992 while I was in my undergraduate studies at UNC Pembroke. We have 2 cats, Merlin and Lancelot, and a turtle named Blinky. I am originally from Dawsonville, GA where my parents and sister still live. My brother is stationed at Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville, and is currently serving in Afghanistan.

I am a member of the International Reading Association and the North Carolina Reading Associationa and am serving as president of the Robeson Reading Council. I am also beginning my doctoral studies here at NC State through this Institute. I am looking forward to meeting other teachers who love using technology and hoping to gain many new ideas and approaches to share with my students and colleaques in this process.
