Bio

My name is Chris Saffold. I am originally from Dothan, Alabama.  I am currently residing in Troy, Alabama.  I enjoy playing basketball, racquetball, and tennis.  One of my many hobbies includes collecting autographed pictures from celebrities.

 *I was also a substitute teacher for 2 years while attending Troy University. I was a substitute teacher for the following schools: Troy Elementary School, Goshen Elementary School, Goshen High School, Pike County Elementary School, Pike County High School, Charles Henderson Middle School, and Charles Henderson High School. During that time I worked in all grade levels, all subject areas, and I also worked in special education classrooms. 

*In 2001, I did my student teaching at Pike County Elementary School with the guidance of two really amazing teachers. I was fortunate to do my internship under Mrs. Debbie Kelley (1st grade teacher) and Mrs. Ashley Johnson (4th grade teacher at that time). I will always be grateful to them for sharing their love of teaching with me.

*I volunteered at Pike County High School where I helped students prepare for the Alabama High School Graduation Exam.
