This is my 18th year teaching, and my 14th year at Ripley Public Schools.

I have 4 sons – Rodney is 31 and in the Army Reserves, David is 23 and graduated from Ripley in 2016, Ben is 20 and a Junior at Oklahoma State University, and Mark is 14 and in the 9th grade at Ripley.

I graduated from Oklahoma State University and love the Cowboys and OKC Thunder!!!  

I don’t believe that there are OVERachievers.  I hope that everyone sets high goals and is willing to work hard to reach them.
