I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a B.A. in History in the Spring of 2005 and stayed in school as a graduate assistant to complete my M.A. in History in the Spring of 2007. Originally a Biology Major when I stepped foot on campus in the Fall of 2001 because I wanted to be a Pediatrician. That was short- lived because Chemistry 1145 about killed me and when my advisor signed me up for four more science classes, I knew this was not for me. Graduating with degrees in history with no education course, I had to go through the T.A.P.P. program to become a teacher. I applied to dozens of schools, but was offered a job at Albany High School where I worked from the Fall of 2007 until the Spring of 2011. I completed my T.A.P.P. courses at Albany State and taught at AHS for four years. I started at Perry High School in the Fall of 2011 and have worked here ever since. During my time at PHS I started my first three years as a Co-Teacher, and the next seven years taught US History to mostly Juniors. This year will be the second year of me teaching US History Dual Enrollment which gives the student college credit. Every year I enjoy hosting a Roaring 20's party to bring history to life. My extracurricular activities include coaching sports. I am the head Swim coach and a varsity football coach. I am married to Julie Wiley and we have two kids, a boy named Collin and a girl named Addie Lee. They both are in the Houston Co. School system.
