Huntsville Middle School

This is my third year teaching in the Huntsville School District.  My first year here, I taught 5th-grade math at the intermediate school.  The following year, I was fortunate enough to move up to assistant principal at the middle school.  Then, this year, I was able to move into the principal position.

My teaching career before coming to Huntsville involved being a teacher and a coach.  I have taught Math, Science, Health, P.E., and Outdoor Education.  I have also been a head junior high football and head wrestling coach.

Before getting into the field of education, I worked as an electrician and was able to earn my journeyman’s license for that.  My experiences in construction work taught me a lot about building relationships with different types of people.  It also helped me learn to be a leader as I had to manage several jobs.

Both of my work experiences have helped me grow tremendously as a person.  I want to take what I’ve learned and help students be successful at whatever they choose to do.

I got married to Megan Trinkle Ferguson in 2005.  We have had 3 wonderful children together.  They all go to school here at Huntsville.  Our oldest daughter Makaya is 12 years old and going into the 7^th grade, our middle son Crue is 9 years old and going into 4^th grade, and our youngest daughter Zoey is 5 years old and going into Kindergarten this year.  We have also been fortunate enough to adopt 2 boys.  We have Seth who is 13 years old and going into 8^th grade and Shay who is 9 years old and going into 3^rd grade.  To say our household is a little crazy at times might be a big understatement.  We love every minute of it though!

When I’m not working at the school, I love to go fishing.  I mostly bass fish on Beaver Lake and Table Rock Lake.  I also enjoy canoeing, camping, and hunting.  My favorite sports are football, wrestling, and baseball.
