1. Mini Biography (Bio) on you as the teacher.

My name is Coach Neil Allen, and I have been an educator at carver for 7 years now. I have a B.S. in Health and Human Performance, from the University of Tennessee and a M.A. in Teaching from the University of Memphis. I also have finished the coursework for my M.S. in Exercise and Sport Science and a Masters in Theology. Furthermore, I am in the final semester of my Ed.S. in Education Administration. My background being in Health and Human Performance, I love providing opportunities for my students to learn more about their bodies and the variety of ways that they can improve their health and longevity of life, and I am a real-world example of what it means to be a life-long learner.

I am married and a father of two beautiful little girls. Spending time with my family and exploring the world outdoors with them are among my most favorite of pastimes. I enjoy all things outdoors, traveling, and working with my hands (cars, woodworking, metal fabrication, etc). As a Christian and the youth pastor at my church, I am heavily involved in my church and encouraging/mentoring our youth.

At Carver, it is my mission to provide as many opportunities for my students to learn and grow, and realize their potential for greatness, that they may go out into the world and capitalize on the vast opportunities to advance themselves.
