About Me

My name is Jared Datema. I have three children: Tyler, who is almost five years old, and three-and-a-half year old twins, Hayley and Hayden. I have an associates degree in Golf Course and Turf Management. Prior to coming back school, I was working in the golf course industry for the last eight years. After my wife passed away last year, I decided to pursue a career in physical education. So, after being out of school for almost seven years, I am back at it, and I have discovered that going to school is now very different.

I have recently moved back to Fairhope from Birmingham to be closer to my family. My sister and brother also live in Fairhope, so it is really nice to be around family. In the small amount of spare time that I have, I enjoy reading, running, and and playing golf. Although school is quite different from what I remember and it is going to be a lot of hard work, I am very excited about my new career choice.
