Bio
I am a proud employee of Desoto Central Elementary. I was properly trained and nurtured under the great leadership of Mrs. LaShannon Shepard and Mrs. Amy Bridgewater at the primary school. I am the proud husband to my lovely wife Megan Cantrell and father to my son Greyson and daughter Evelyn Claire. I attend Desoto Hills Baptist Church. I attended Ole Miss where I received my Bachelor's Degree.

It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks. I believe that
