My 8th grade math teacher, Mr. Moore, made math come alive. I wanted to be just like him. I had many other teachers along the way that inspired me even further.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience is seeing my students go into education and be successful. It is so fulfilling to see them take strategies they learned from me and use them in their own classrooms.
What would you do with the $25,000?Honestly, I would tithe $2500, I would put $10,000 in my daughter’s college fund, and I would take $10,000 and start a scholarship for Knoxville High School students going into education. With the last $2500, I would spoil my wife with a vacation.
