Currently working in Shelby County Schools (Memphis) as a Shelby County School Administrator. I have enjoyed my eighteen years in the Shelby County School system, which is the largest school district in the state of Tennessee (2003 - 2021), and look forward to my next assignment. I became State Certified in Tennessee's Leadership in Supervision and Curriculum 2006 while receiving my Master's Degree in Education and then my second Master's in Theology in 2007. I received my Ed. S. in Turnaround School Leadership in 2015 and graduated in July 2017 with my Doctorate in Education (School Leadership and Supervision).
Upon graduation, I became employed as an adjunct professor at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, where I will continue to facilitate the doctorate program for school leaders in their pursuit of Ed. D.
I still enjoy four-wheeling, theater, playing music, and any day at the beach or lake. I look forward to hearing from friends throughout the Navy and Marine Corps and anyone interested in a Veteran's Motorcycle rally throughout the United States.
Other Comments:
As some of you may know, I am a single father, and unfortunately, my former spouse and I have split after 30-years of marriage. NO harm, no foul. We just grew apart, especially after the loss of her parents. I still wish her the best and we will always be the best of friends. As they say, "Life is too short to wonder what might have been!" I have two great young men who are now ages 23 and 21: Cody Steven and Colton David.
We call Memphis our home but I still love to travel. Cody received a full academic scholarship to the University of Memphis whereupon he igraduated this year. Colton is growing and still finding out what he wishes to do with his life. He strides to the beat of his own drum. Still waiting for him to quit growing. He is 6' 2" and 285lbs. I just wished he liked sports.
Take care and stay safe.

US Marine Hospital Memphis, TN Details
In 1884, a Marine Hospital was established on the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee. It was designed to treat boatmen for injuries due to explosions or wrecks. The original campus contained six buildings; the surgeon's house, stable, executive building, two wards and the nurse's quarters.
In the 1930's, a few Works Progress Administration buildings were added to the hospital campus, which required the wards and stables to be demolished to make way for a new hospital building. Only two original building's stand; the nurse's quarters, which moves three hundred feet from the original location in the 1930's, and the executive building, currently repurposed as a museum.
The new, three-story neo-classical brick building was completed in 1937 and constructed in the Georgian-style with a slate roof, copper cupola and limestone columns. Each wing of the building contained patient rooms and day rooms, but the rear center section contained a dental ward, operating room, sound proof chamber for hearing tests and nurse stations.
During the fifty years of operation, this hospital played a major role in finding a cure for yellow fever, while caring for member of the Coast Guard, active duty Armed Forces, Maritime Academy, and other government employees. The hospital closed in 1965, as the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital.
