What classes and grade level(s) do you teach? I currently serve as the Middle School PE teacher and Director of Baseball.

Please tell us about yourself and your family. I am married to my beautiful wife since 2011, Jenilee Nicole. We have 3 children and we experienced a still birth in 2021. My family is looking forward to fully immersing ourselves into SFCA and the community.

Tell us something that we would be surprised to know about you. The two things that always throw people off is that I have an undergrad degree from an Art and Design school and that I have over 30 hours of tattoos.

Describe how you feel God has called you to your particular career path. God has fully lead us to SFCA and to work with the middle school students and help grow the baseball program. God has stretched my faith in ways I didn’t know possible the last 3 years and truly given me a new sense of purpose and priority. I am looking forward to using my platform to help the youth at SFCA.

In what particular ways do you hope to shape the learning or spiritual experience of our students here at SFCA? I plan to use what God has taught me and sharpened me over the years.

The SFCA mission statement: Southwest Florida Christian Academy, a ministry of McGregor Baptist Church, will partner with Christian parents to provide their children with a distinctively Biblical and academically excellent education that will equip students to be Godly leaders and to successfully engage the culture for Christ. How do you hope to accomplish this as a faculty/staff member? It is my goal to come along side every parents to help them grow their kids in Christ. I want to help them the same way I want someone to help me with my children, to be a unified front that is helping mold future believers and citizens.
