This is my 7th year as a High School Counselor and my 1st at Hough High School. I received my undergraduate degree from Miami University (Ohio) and my master's in Counseling from UNC Charlotte. I am born and raised in Columbus, Ohio but moved to Charlotte in 2009. Charlotte is home now. 

When I am not at school, I enjoy working out, playing sports, coaching, and all things outdoors. I love going to the mountains and spending time with my wife Brie and 2-year-old son Reiz. 

My advice for students: 

Persevere: It's not how many times you get knocked down that matters; its how many times you get up. 

F.E.A.R: Face Everything And Rise OR Forget Everything And Run 

(The choice is yours)
