1. Where did you graduate high school?
" West Lauderdale High School"

2. What made you want to become a football coach?
"I wanted to help people and change lives. I had a lot of opportunities when I was in high school to coach youth teams. And that's kind of how I fell into coaching."

3. What was your best memory here coaching at Germantown?
"Fourth and eighth, on the twenty-eight yard line. Strakville was getting ready to
score in the third quarter. We hadn't stopped them all game. We send seven and
get the sack. I feel like that was a big turn in the game for us to
win and beat them 33 to 34."

4. What is one thing you are most excited about this season?
"I am most excited about this senior group. The ones who have been here all through high school, I've been their defensive coordinator since they were ninth graders, so I feel like it's a full circle moment."

5. What do you enjoy doing while you are not coaching football?
"I love hanging out with my one year old and my wife. I like to cook with my daughter and try new things."
