I grew up in a small community, Sophia, NC and a graduate of Randleman High in 1989. I’m a veteran of the US Navy, having served for a term of four years; ten months of the term was in the Gulf during operation “Desert Storm”. In 1993 I ended my naval career and received an honorable discharge.

After discharge from the military, I attended Randolph Community College 1993-1994 in the emergency medicine program and earned a state certification as an Emergency Medical Technician- Intermediate.  My career in this field consisted of six months volunteer work and two years working a paid position with a Guildford county emergency service provider Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue.

In 1995 I began my education in the Electrical Technology industry; 1996 was the start of my electrical career with one of the largest electrical companies in the state. After thirteen years in the field; eight of which managing my own company Universal Electrical Services and having the privilege to train several young adults, I realized I  would like to further my career as a teacher. I am thankful and blessed to have been chosen as Weaver Academys’ Electrical Technology instructor. I have now had the privilege to teach many more young adults and looking forward to many ahead.

Much of my past time is spent on the water. Having a strong interest in boats and seamanship; this encouraged me to serve in the Navy and in 2006 I pursued and acquired a U.S.C.G. Merchant Mariners License more commonly known as a 6-Pak Charter Captain.
