Be the person God wants you to be.
Find your purpose.
No one else can do the job you were designed to do.
Psalm 139:14 
​I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

Peace and Blessings be with you,

I started work at a new K-6 school in August 2022 called, Temple Christian Academy located in New Bern, NC.

I finished my 7th year of teaching Math and Technology at Annunciation Catholic School but felt I was really called to be a part of this new school.

I have a Masters in Secondary Education and a Masters of Business Administration and am NC licensed in Math, Science, and Business Technology.

My passion is helping people achieve all they can in life and empower them with knowledge, skills and resources.

Prior to teaching at ACS, I was a Lateral Entry Business and Technology teacher in Charlotte and then moved and worked in Jones County in North Carolina.

After graduating from New Mexico State in Las Cruces, NM, I moved across the country where I became the MIS Director  and Technology instructor at Carteret Community College in Morehead City, NC.

I earned my MBA from Wake Forest University and had a 17 year career with First Union National Bank as a Project Leader in Information Technology, training, support, systems development and corporate reporting.

I am a Microsoft Office Specialist and certified in WORD, EXCEL and PowerPoint. I have been an Adjunct Technology Instructor for Craven Community College.

My wife is  Jodi and we were married in 1983.  We raised 8 children as foster parents and now claim 12 grandchildren.

I was born in NY, spent my teenage years in New Mexico, lived a short time in California, and have called North Carolina home since 1981.

 I have been a Team Leader with  
TheEdgeInstitute.org (TEEI.org) since 1998
 conducting cultural and educational exchange programs between China and the United States.

I was awarded the First Union Excellence in Education Award for service to the Charlotte, NC schools; chess, reading, and Junior Achievement programs. I love teaching and promoting  scholastic chess and am a certified USCF Tournament Director.
 
I have also  served as a coach, regional, and state judge for Odyssey-of-the-Mind, a problem solving competition. (NCOM.org) 

I recently helped the City of New Bern Police Department with a Youth Chess program called the Noble Knights and have links on the website: NewBernChess.club.
​
I have been an Adult and Youth Sunday School teacher.

My other interests are: travel, reading, cooking, poetry, helping others, sharing about China and the restoration of my home and Jodi’s art studio  in the Historic Riverside neighborhood of New Bern, NC. ​
