I am excited to be teaching Fire Technology at Currituck County High School. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Geography with a minor in Oceanography from Old Dominion University. I am a certified teacher. During college I worked as a carpenter framing houses. For a short time after college I worked as an Environmental Scientist. Then I found the fire service and my true passion. I have been a Volunteer Firefighter, Ocean Rescue Lifeguard, Engineer, Master Firefighter and Captain with the Kitty Hawk Fire Department. I am certified as a: Fire Instructor, Firefighter I and II, Driver/Operator Pumps, EMT-B, Instructor I and II, Fire Officer I, Incident Safety Officer, Fire Inspector II, NFA Leadership III, NC Breathing Equipment School graduate, and certified Ocean Rescue Lifeguard. I am a NC Certified Fire Instructor.
When I am not at school I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, running, surfing and reading.
