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.

  1. So you area golfer? My wife is. She was ladies champion at TimberCreek two years ago and six years ago. She got her 4th hole in one last week. She has been playing golf for only 16 years!

  2. Good to know that you are a family man. Family is very important to me also. I am married to a wonderful woman and I am the proud father of two beautiful girls. I often travel to Sumter County to visit my family.

  3. You have a lot on your plate, but I am sure you can make it all work. I stayed out of school for 10 years and finally decided what I wanted to do. Although, the timing was not the best. Everything has worked out and I am sure it will for you as well. Good luck with everything.

  4. Fairhope is a great little town! What made you decide to pursue teaching P.E.? Will you coach? I bet you are looking forward to having the same holidays as your children.

    I just noticed a few things that need to be changed as far as format goes on your blog. The specifics are in Project One of your instruction manual, but if you need any further help, you are welcome to email me at awc802@gmail.com or phone me at 251-689-4215.
