15. How Did I Get Involved in DECA?

16. It all started back at Jefferson High Schoolin Colorado

17. I was in DECA!!!Placed 1st in the State for the Free Enterprise Project Competed at the National Conference in Washington DC

18. Went to Utah State UniversityFor 3 years

19. Finished my Degree at Colorado State University

20. Taught at Evergreen High School in Colorado for 4 Years

21. Where we had the #3 ranked DECA Chapter in the State!!

22. Then I went out into the Corporate World….

23. Where I worked in the Car Rental Business for 11+ Years

24. I moved about every 1 ½ yrs while I was in the Car Rental Business: • Charlotte, NC • Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ • Tallahassee, FL (Go Seminoles!) • Charleston, SC • Birmingham, AL I also spent up to 3 months at a time in: • Myrtle Beach, NC (set up a new location) • Atlanta, GA (taught hiring & training practices) • Memphis, TN

25. During the last 15 months I worked there, I spent 3 months commuting to Memphis, 5 months commuting to Houston, and 3 months commuting to Fort Lauderdale. (11 mos on the road)I would get on a plane Monday morning & came home on Friday or Saturday to Birmingham.

26. After climbing the corporate ladder (I finally made it to corporate headquarters), I knew something was missing because I was not happy with my career anymore.I realized that I was meant to help others learn to believe in themselves – as in Teaching High School again!

27. In the meantime (before I could get a teaching job), I needed to work (bills to pay!). So, I went to work for an International Air Ambulance & Private Airline Company

29. After 3 yrs, I finally got a job Teaching again!

30. We had the LARGEST DECA CHAPTER in the State of Alabama all 4 yrs I was there • We were one of the BEST high schools in DECA for competitors! • We had the State President! • We went to the International DECA Conference every year! (California, Dallas, Nashville, Orlando)

34. GET INVOLVED in DECA! It can change your life!

35. Then I got the chance to move to Asheville, NC (one of my dreams) to come & teach at A.C. Reynolds High School!

36. So, I left my home in Alabama…

37. At first, I lived in a 4 room cottage in Black Mountain

38. Now I live in Asheville
