I am entering my tenth year of teaching English at the middle or high school level. I am currently teaching 9th grade English, Applied Communication I and Yearbook classes at Coosa High School in Rome, Georgia. I hold an ABJ in public relations, a BSED in English Education and a MSED in English Education all from the University of Georgia. I will finish my six-year degree in curriculum and instruction from Berry College in summer 2001. I am married to Angie Yancey, have a two-year old son, John, a dog and five cats. I love gardening, working in the yard, playing basketball, white water rafting and reading horror novels.
