I have been teaching Agricultural Education for the past 16 years.  I am currently teaching in Lexington Richland 5 at The Center for Advanced Technical Studies.  I have been active in South Carolina Association of Technical Educators and currently serve as President Elect of SCATE.  My CTE journey began when I was in high school where I took several classes at Lexington Technology Center.  Most of those classes were in the Ag Ed pathway.  I am a graduate of Clemson University where I majored in Agricultural Education.  I reside in Lexington with my wife Stephanie on our family farm.  I am very passionate about how CTE can change students lives and career outlook.
