I am excited to be able to teach in Hardin High School.  I grew up in Liberty and had friends in Hardin. After I graduated from Liberty High School in 1966,  I attended Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont and later earned by masters degree at Lamar University.  My doctorate degree was earned at the University of North Texas in Denton.  I have been an educator for 34 years.  During that time, I have served as a classroom teacher for 14 years, a principal for 8 years, and a superintendent and central office personnel for 12 years. At present, I am retired and have been rehired.  In addition to being an educator, I have also served as a Supply Officer in the U.S. Navy for 6 years and worked in the oilfield service industry for 7 years.
