I started out as teacher at Booker T. Washington in Norfolk and I came to Princess Anne High School as the activities coordinator. I went to Tallwood as an assistant principal and then I came over here 12 years ago as a coordinator, five years as a director. That’s the one thing that this job has taught me, everybody doesn’t go on a straight line to get their education. Everybody’s got a different story and it’s a not always a straight path, but it’s very rewarding to help the students, particularly when you hear what some of these people have gone through and what some of these students have had to overcome.
What are your plans for retirement?
The plan right now is no plan, but we’ll see where life takes it after this. I’ll play a lot of golf. I’m a big golfer. I’ll try to get myself back into shape. Being in administration now for over 20 years, it is 24/7, 12 months a year. There’s never any time to do anything. You’re always going and you’re always on call. So now, no calls.
