: About Me

I am a proud husband and father. Melissa and I have two children from previous relationships. Trey is ten and Eddie is four. We were both single parents who found each other and are now expecting a new addition to our family in January. We couldn't be happier. I have approximately 17 years of retail experience and have been in customer service for half my life. I have a B.S. degree from Indiana University in Labor Studies and am only six credit hours away from a M.S. degree in Adult Education. Adult Learning is my passion after my family.
