11 years completed at HMS. I have no more of my own children here with me. I have one in college at Anderson University and 2 in high school; Brashier and Hillcrest. My wife is also an educator in GCSD with 23 years experience. I'm looking forward to continuing my work with our 8th grade team. We work together to do our best for our students. Each year brings on new challenges and new opportunities. We will all grow and learn; hopefully in the right direction. We all will be FLEXIBLE and stay positive this year. I see a multitude of supportive faculty, parents, and students ready to begin a new adventure. I love to see and hear the excitement in the air when students know something big is happening soon. It really is a loving community here at HMS. I plan for the twelfth year to be just as fun and productive; even more so than the first 11.
