I married my NEO sweetheart and have two daughters and three grand boys. I was in the public school system for 33 years. I served as a teacher, coach, principal, assistant superintendent and superintendent before retiring in 2025. I recently returned to NEO in the recruiting department. Go Go NEO.

When I applied to the NEO Nursing Program, returning home, I’d already completed a B.S. in Sports and Health Science, minoring in Exercise Science, an M.S. in Sports and Health Science, and had a post graduate certificate in Biomedical Neuroscience. Since graduating NEO, I’ve went onto complete my BSN and MSN/Family Nurse Practitioner, AND my Doctorate of Nursing Practice as well as a graduate certificate program as a Nurse Educator. I’m a very proud NEO A&M alumni as well as a Gator Nurse, where I completed my DNP and Nurse Educator programs at the University of Florida. My NEO A&M nursing education truly set me up for success to be accepted into, and complete, a TOP DNP program in the nation. I am currently working as a Family Nurse Practitioner at Saint Francis Health Center, focusing on the rural health population, in Langley. One day, I hope to return to NEO as an educator.

I played Football and Baseball from 1993-1994. On the 1994 National Champion NJCAA Runner-up football team. (Stupid onside kickoff...still hurts!)  Love Coach Loyd!

On 1993 NJCAA World Series team. Didn't play much. (Ivy is awesome, Rick can still suck it.)

Transferred to University of Cincinnati and played both sports at D-1. Blew out knee to end my career in 1996. It's all good. I'm still sexy! 

Bachelors in Mathematics. Been in sales since 2002 after a few years teaching and coaching.
