About

I was born in Cincinnati, OH, but was raised in Lexington by my mother. I am 43 years old and have 2 children, Montell (26) and Myles (14). I played basketball for Bryan Station High School and then earned an athletic scholarship to George Washington University. I played all four years of college and then went overseas to play professionally in the Netherlands. I also played semi-pro ball here in Lexington for one year. Currently, I am a member of the behavior team at Breckinridge Elementary. I have worked at Breckinridge for the last 4 years. This year, I helped start an after school program at Breckinridge. Currently, I am the co-director.
