I am a proud graduate of Dade County High School (Class of 2012) and went on to attend the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where I earned my degree in Instrumental Music Education. While at UTC, I had the privilege of performing in several ensembles, including the UTC Trumpet Ensemble, Orchestra, Marching Mocs, Jazz Band, and Brass Quintet. These experiences deeply influenced my passion for music and teaching.

In May 2015, I married my high school sweetheart, Erin Clark. Together, we have one amazing son, Grayson James Clark, who is 5 years old and keeps us on our toes.

I began my journey with North Sand Mountain in July 2018 as a non-employee coach and marching band director. After graduating in December 2018, I was fortunate to be hired as a music teacher and band director, a role I’ve held with great pride ever since. I truly feel at home here and cherish working with the dedicated faculty, staff, and students at NSM.

There’s no place like North Sand Mountain, and I’m honored to contribute to the growth and success of our school’s music program.
