Home

I grew up far away from here - Rhode Island - and after getting off Active Duty in the Army, made the good decision to move to Tennessee.  I've now been here for more than 25 years, so this is definitely home.  I met my wife, the former Diana Booth, shortly after moving to TN.  Diana attended FHU prior to going to Pharmacy school.  We've now been married for over 22 years.  We have two children, Shelby (attending FHU) and Booth (11th grade at Jackson Christian School) and are very proud of both of them.  

I served in each branch of the Army (Active, Reserve, and National Guard) for a combined total of 23 years, 8 months, and 10 days.  I served in both the Enlisted and the Officer Corps, retiring in October 2008 at the rank of Major.  I am very proud of my military service and am happy to encourage others to explore opportunities that the military can provide.

My family and I worship at the North Jackson church of Christ.  I currently serve as a Deacon and co-teach in various adult classes.  My wife is active in a variety of activities in the church, to include teaching.  My kids are very active in their respective age groups.

I started teaching with Freed-Hardeman in August 2009.  Prior to this new and exciting opportunity, I worked in bedside nursing and management positions, primarily in the Emergency Department setting.  I'm very excited about being a part of the Freed-Hardeman family and growing within the university and the department of nursing.
