“I was trying to get a teaching job in Pennsylvania, because that's where I lived, and that's where my college was. I applied for several jobs, but I only had a couple of interviews, and nothing was working out.
“I was working at Lowe's in the summer, and it got into July. It was looking like I was going to be working at Lowe's for the rest of that year. I talked to the education department at my college, and they asked me if I would be interested in looking at jobs in other states. They said we have a position at Louisa County High School. I drove down here, interviewed with the principal, and they offered me the job.
“That was certainly a life-changing experience. I had no idea that this was going to be a really special place with great people, and I would want to stay here as long as I have and probably will be here even longer.”
