Welcome to McLaurin Elementary.  This is my nineteenth year teaching. In my career I have taught third, fourth, and fifth grades. I am a 2003 graduate of Francis Marion University. I am originally from Marlboro County. My wife and I have lived in the area for the past twenty-three years. My passion for teaching stems first from my curiosity. I grew up on a vegetable farm, and I love taking care of and learning about anything that grows.
