Mr. Leathead
I am currently in my 9th year of teaching in Volusia County Schools. This is my 7th year at Creekside Middle School where I have been a social studies and physical education teacher. I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade in both areas and very much love teaching here at Creekside.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude with an International Baccalaureate Diploma from Spruce Creek High School in 2002 where I was also a member of the marching band and 12 o'clock Jazz band under Mr. Andrew Kidd. I also played Basketball for Coach David Howard at Creek.
After high school, I moved to Tallahassee, FL to attend Florida State University. I graduated from FSU with a degree in International Affairs in 2006. I continued my education during the 2013-2014 school year at Stetson University where I earned a Master's degree in Educational Leadership.
I am married to my best friend, who is also a teacher at Cypress Creek Elementary, Mrs. Sarah Leathead. We were married in 2010 and currently have one child, Kinsey, who is 1. We live in Port Orange, FL.
When I am not teaching, I love to travel and relax by the pool or at the beach. I stay active by exercising and playing basketball. I love to watch and attend sporting events whenever I can. My favorite teams are the Florida State Seminoles, Michigan Wolverines, Detroit Lions, Orlando Magic, and Atlanta Braves.
I am also a coach with the Spruce Creek Girls' Basketball program where I have been the assistant varsity coach and junior varsity head coach for the past 2 seasons.
