I was born on Friday the 13th in January of 1978 in Texas. I only lived there for about a year. Then my family moved to Tennessee. That is where I graduated from high school. I also went to a near by community college for a year while I was still in high school. I then went on to Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. Ricks is now known as BYU - Idaho. I graduated as an Elementary Education major in April of 1998. I had planned on going to a school in Tennessee to finish out my education however that didn't work out. Instead I went to Kansas to attend Wichita State University. I graduated with my BA in Elementary Education from WSU in December of 2000.
