I graduated from Cleburne County High School in 1987 and began attending Jacksonville State University working towards a Bachelor of Science in Education degree with a Social Science Composite. Upon graduation from JSU in 1992, I was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. I served in the army nearly six years with deployments to Somalia and Bosnia. I began teaching history at Wetumpka High School in 1998, and I earned a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Auburn University Montgomery in 2002. I was selected as the assistant principal at Eclectic Elementary School in 2003. After six years as assistant principal, I became the principal in 2009.
I am married to Wendy Turley, who is a psychometrist with Elmore County Public Schools, and we live in the Kent community. We have four sons between us--Gray, Will, and Kent are all in college, and Preston is in high school. We also have 10 goats, 1 donkey, and 4 dogs. In our free time, we enjoy camping and being outdoors. We attend Tallassee First United Methodist Church.
