Hello! I am proud to be entering my 7th year at Liberty Junior High and my 18th year in education. After spending 11 incredible years teaching 7th and 8th grade social studies in Garland ISD, I joined Richardson ISD as an administrator in 2019 and have felt right at home ever since. I’m deeply passionate about junior high students and committed to helping them grow and thrive during this pivotal stage in life.

I am supported by my lovely wife, Jen and our two amazing sons, Benjamin (3) and Teddy (8).  My wife and I met teaching in 2007, and our shared passion for education continues to guide our lives.

As a proud RISD alum and Lake Highlands High School graduate (Class of 2000), I bring a strong connection to the district and community.  Over the years I have shifted my allegiance to be a proud member of the Berkner #Ramily.  I earned a B.S. in Communications with minors in Spanish and History from the University of Oklahoma and later completed my M.Ed. at Stephen F. Austin State University.

In my role as Associate Principal, I strive to bring calm, empathy, and problem-solving to every situation. I believe in maintaining an open-door policy for students, staff, and families—working collaboratively to build strong relationships and positive outcomes.

My professional goal is to continue supporting and empowering educators, students and families, to grow their strengths and provide a pathway to overcome challenges, leading to increased academic and social outcomes for our Liberty stakeholders. I look forward to another great year of learning, leading, and growing at Liberty Junior High!
