Before joining the academic staff at TAMS in September of 2014, Sam was a Residential Counselor for three years at the Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in his hometown of Bowling Green, Kentucky. During his time at Gatton and TAMS, Sam has loved being immersed in an environment filled with fun, hard-working students who constantly yearn for knowledge and growth. In January 2015, his passion for the field led Sam to begin pursuing a PhD in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Gifted and Talented Education, and he plans to graduate in 2021. While working at Gatton, Sam earned his Master’s in Student Affairs (Higher Education) from Western Kentucky University. Sam earned his B.A. in History from Vanderbilt University. Outside of his office hours, Sam can often be found eating lunch with TAMSters at Maple Cafeteria (UNT's vegan dining hall), playing frisbee, softball, or basketball with TAMS intramural teams, advising the TAMS Research Organization, or marveling at TAMS students' many talents during Aid The Cause, HOPE Auction, coffeehouses, plays, and more.
