ABOUT
I am a third generation machinist, my paternal grandfather worked as a "rough machinist" in a pipe foundry. My father learned the trade in the military and continued as a lead machinist into his seventies.I have had the benefit of serving an 8000 hour apprenticeship and a supportive employer who encouraged me to earn an A.A.S. degree at his expense. After 33 years in industry I took a chance on teaching the machinist trade for Gadsden State and I have never regretted the change

I have been married to my teenage sweetheart since April 1974 and we have been blessed with 2 children, 3 grandchildren and 3 dogs who are almost as spoiled as the grandchildren. We all live in Southside in Etowah county and our daughter's family is "just down the road from Mama". My favorite historic figure is Ben Franklin who was always trying to better himself and those around him. My favorite quote is one of Mr. Franklin's. " An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest".
