My name is Mike Tinker, and I am thrilled to begin my 31st year teaching at Pi Beta Phi Elementary School. My educational career includes a Bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee and a Master's degree from East Tennessee State University. 

My family includes my wonderful wife Belinda, who is a first-grade teacher at Pigeon Forge Primary School, my oldest daughter Lacee, who is a physical therapist at Pro Therapy, and my youngest daughter Macee, who is a third-year Communications student at UT Knoxville.
