Education and Work
I graduated from Toccoa Falls College with a degree in Secondary Education - History (BS, 1996) with a minor in Behavorial Sciences. My interests include cross cultural missions, church planting movements and models, and the persecuted church.

In 2008 I applied for the graduate program at Kennesaw State University, and have begun work on a Masters of Education in Adolescent Education with a concentration in Social Studies.

I currently teach ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) at Carroll County Schools, in Georgia. I am starting my first year there.

Wikipedia
Currently I am interested in Mississippian culture, a Native American mound-building culture. Specifically in the mounds at Etowah Indian Mounds and Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park

Past Interests
I originally created the article on Shane Claiborne because I felt his ideas needed to be represented on Wikipedia.

I also watched the Emerging Church and Velvet Elvis author Rob Bell. I watched and/or contributed to these other Wikipedia articles: Jesus Seminar, Gregory A. Boyd, Lee Strobel and one for Powder Springs, Georgia.
