I graduated from East Davidson in 1997. I began my college career at Western Carolina University as a math education major but graduated from Winston Salem State University in 2010 with a degree in physical education. I attended and graduated from Concordia University - Irvine in 2017 with a Master's degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration.
