About Me:
I am Thomas Bridges and am originally from Kings Mountain, NC. I graduated from Kings Mountain High School in 2004 (GO MOUNTAINEERS!). I earned my undergraduate degree at UNC-Chapel Hill (GO HEELS!) with a concentration in Social Studies, and my Master's of Divinity Degree from Campbell University. I am an avid fan of all things CAROLINA, and a fan of most sports! I have taught history/social studies for sixteen years in North Carolina and live in Fayetteville, NC, with my wife and two daughters. I help coach JV and Varsity football at Overhills High School, lead our FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) & SGA (Student Government Association) at Overhills HS. My favorite hobbies include singing and playing music, watching most sports, reading a good book, and spending time with my family.
