Sixth Grade
My first two years of teaching were spent teaching Chapter I Math at Salina, Oklahoma. I graduated from Grove High School in 1979. I attended Claremore Jr. College, N.E.O. , Arkansas, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Northeastern State. I am also a bus driver.
I enjoy competitive crappie fishing, hiking, backpacking and woodcarving. I am also co-owner of Catfish John's in Grove. I have two boys Bryson and Jayson who enjoy doing some of these things with me.
I'm continue to work on the hiking trail near the school. This mile long trail is used as an outdoor classroom, keeping kids in touch with nature. Each year my students build bird houses which are added along the trail. Students show great interest in helping build and maintain the trail.
