About Me
- Becky Ryder
- I live in Hattiesburg, MS with my husband of over 40 years. Prior to retiring from teaching and coaching, I lived in Houston, TX where I ended my 28 year educational career. My last position was at James E.Taylor High School in Katy, TX. Over the course of my career I had the unique experience of starting a collegiate basketball team at Columbia College in Columbia, SC. I have also taught health and physical education and coached basketball, tennis, volleyball, boys and girls cross country and track. My husband and I travel often, mostly to the Western states and Europe. I have three grandchildren, but do not want to be called Grandma. Instead, my grandchildren call me "Bissy" (it's a long story). I am an avid distance runner, having run 20 marathons as well as hundreds of other races.
