My name is Andrew Oldham. I was born on March 23, 1988 in Conyers, Georgia. I Graduated from Salem High School c/o 2006. I have participated in sports from the age of 4. Growing up I always played multiple sports including baseball, volleyball, soccer, and basketball. In high school, I played club volleyball for Southern Storm Volleyball and baseball at Salem High School. I lettered my sophomore year as a pitcher and 1st baseman. Some of my athletic highlights include making state baseball playoffs in 2005 as our region runner up and travelling to Minneapolis, Minnesota to play in the USA Volleyball Boys Junior National Championships in 2006. 

I currently work in Rockdale County Public Schools with special education. I travel between our elementary, middle, and high schools and work with our behavior specialist to help collect data, observe students, create and implement behavior plans, and assist with student de-escalation / crisis management. I am also a "Mindset" de-escalation and restraint trainer for the county. This involves training and certifying educators "Mindset" de-escalation and restraint curriculum. 

I enjoy coaching because it takes the things  I love to do, teaching and sports, and combines them. My mission is to use volleyball as a tool to empower young men and women with skills and relationships that will continue to play a part in their lives long after their last match. My favorite moments are the ones when I see an athlete grinding to learn a new skill, while being excited at every inch of progress they make. When it does not come easy, someone who enjoys the process of learning will never truly fail.
