Educational Philosophy
I firmly believe that educators are such a vital part of a kid's start to life. I became an educator because of the profound impact it had on me growing up. A famous anonymous quote says, “Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” I have tried to base my career as both a teacher and coach remembering that. I know the impact all of my teachers and coaches have had on my life. As an administrator, I want to carry that same mindset for both students and teachers.
Family
Married to my wife Jordan for 15 years and have two kids, Ryan and Eli
Hobbies
I love to hunt, fish, play golf, and watch the Hogs! We love to camp in our RV!
