I graduated from Jackson High School in 2000.  However, I must say that I am glad I am now a Bulldog and not an Indian!

My undergraduate education was completed at Culver-Stockton College in Canton, MO fall of 2005.

My graduate degree was completed through William Woods University in the fall of 2010.

BS in Education from Culver-Stockton College

MS in Education Administration from William Woods University

I am a member of MSTA (Missouri State Teachers’ Association), SCTA (Sikeston Community Teachers’ Association), NHSSCA (National High School Strength Coaches Association), and MSBCA (Missouri State Baseball Coaches’ Association).

Each year I attend the St. Louis Glazier Football Coaches’ Clinic where I attend sessions devoted to various aspects of the game of football along with several presentations dedicated to maintaining and promoting safe and effective techniques to ensure a successful weight room.

I also attend the MSBCA Clinic yearly where the sessions are centered around various aspects and coaching philosophies concerning the game of baseball.

My wife MIchelle Hopkins teaches here in Sikeston High School.  Michelle and I have 2 children who both attend school here at Sikeston.

When I am not teaching or coaching I love to hunt, fish, camp, golf, bbq, and hang out by the pool.  Of course, if there is a baseball or football game on it may be difficult to grab my attention.
