About

I am in my fourth year as the Anadarko girls’ basketball coach.

I began my teaching career in 1988 at Wynnewood Public Schools where I spent ten years. In 1998, I accepted the boys’ basketball position at Carnegie High School. I coached at Carnegie for 21 years. While at Carnegie, I coached junior high and high school boys’ basketball, middle school track, was the head cross country and track coach. I also coached the girls’ basketball team for one year and served as athletic director for 5 years and high school principal for two years. In 2020, I became the head boys’ basketball coach at Watonga High School for one year before accepting my current position as the girls’ basketball coach at Anadarko. I am a 1982 graduate of Carnegie High School and earned my bachelor’s in education from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in 1988 and a master’s in administration from the University of Oklahoma in 1998. I have been the Oklahoma Basketball Coaches Association President; OCA Region 4 Athletic Director of the Year; OCA All State Girls Basketball Coach; selected into the Oklahoma Boys Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame; and currently serves on the OCA Board of Directors. My wife Lori and I have been married for 35 years. We have two daughters, Karlee and Lybbee. I enjoy spending time with my family (including my new granddaughter Landri Dearman).
