Boy's Coaching Staff

I've been teaching and coaching for 29 years, this being my 18th at Griffin and I am the Boy's Athletic Coordinator.   Prior to coming to Frisco, I was in Little Elm at both the high school and middle school.  I have coached baseball, softball, football, basketball, track, cross country and soccer.  I graduated from Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas.  I teach Engineering Design and Investigations.  I am married to my wife Christina, who is also in the district at Boals Elementary.  We have a son, Lincoln, who is a senior at Wakeland High School - Class of 2026. I grew up in Gothenburg, Nebraska.  I enjoy a good cup of coffee or tea, hanging out with the family, working outside and playing golf.

TThis will be my 10th year teaching PE and coaching at Griffin. Previously, I was a teacher and coach at A.C. New Middle School in Mesquite ISD for 10 years (2005-2015).  I graduated from Poteet High School in 2000.  In 2005, I graduated from the University of North Texas with a B.S. in Kinesiology and a minor in History.  I received a Master's degree from Lamar University in 2011.  I have been married to my wife Melissa since 2009.  We have 2 amazing children: Grayson (13), who will be an 8th grader this year, and Harper (11) will be in 6th grade. During my time at A.C. New, I taught Texas History, AVID, Health, and PE.  When I'm not working, I like to play with my kids, read, and walk our dog.  

This will be my 11th year at Griffin, 12th year overall.  I will be teaching World Cultures and Texas History as well as coaching Football, Basketball, and Track.  I graduated from UNT in ‘05 with a B.A. in Sociology and a minor in Criminal Justice.  In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife~ Sharon, and 2 boys ~ Brady (6th grade) & Jake (4th grade), road cycling, & woodworking. 

This will be my 20th year in education. For the past 12 years (2012–2025), I served at Vandeventer Middle School in Frisco ISD, where I taught Physical Education as well as World Cultures, Texas History, and U.S. History, while also coaching multiple athletic programs.  I am a proud graduate of Bridgeport High School (1999) and earned a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Spanish from Tarleton State University in 2003.  Since 2014, I have been married to my wife, Melissa. We have two wonderful children: Brooklyn (6), who will be entering 1st grade at Corbell Elementary, and James (4). Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my family, hunting, fishing, and gardening.

This will be my eighth year of teaching and coaching, and my first year at Griffin Middle School. Before arriving at Griffin, I was at Wilkinson Middle School in Frisco for two years and spent one year at Strike Middle School in Little Elm. Before arriving in DFW, I was a teacher and coach in Killeen ISD for four years after serving in the Army for six years. I have coached basketball, football, track, and soccer while teaching Texas and United States History. I have been married to my wife Ana for nine years, and I have one son named Michael Holloway (13), who lives in Denver, Colorado, and loves football and basketball. In my spare time, I love working out, watching movies, reading, playing video games, and taking naps.
