BIO:
I was born and raised in Anderson County. I am a Bearcat through and through, and I graduated from ACHS in 1991. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Centre College in 1996. I have a Masters of Education in Administration from the University of Louisville.
This is my 24th year at Anderson County High School.
I am the head baseball coach, and this will be my 27th year as a head coach: 24 at Anderson.
I am married to Stephanie, a former 2nd-grade teacher at Saffell Elementary, and I have two beautiful daughters: Anna Foley (19) and Charley Lynn Barnes (11).
I look forward to a wonderful 2021-2022 school year.
