Richie Gibson is beginning his 23rd school year with Follett, and during that time he has worked with K-12 schools throughout Tennessee to assist with meeting the need for materials in both the library and the classroom. He says it is a joy to work daily with educators who are striving to provide engaging books for their students, and is grateful to be able to share Follett’s products and services for curating collections of content.

Richie and his wife have been married for 27 years, and currently reside in Oakland, TN. Their daughter is a freshman at Mississippi State, and she is a Secondary Education major with a desired goal of being a high school English teacher. They are very thankful to share their home with our 9 year old golden retriever Rider, who provides them with smiles and laugher each day.
