Something Extra About Me: Before I became the principal at Monarch, I served as Monarch's assistant principal for seven years. I have been extremely involved in the implementation of project-based learning, and helped lead the school in obtaining the prestigious Palmetto's Finest Award. Before my time at Monarch, I spent eight years as a teacher at Gateway Elementary, where I was honored to be recognized as Teacher of the Year. I earned a BS in Elementary Education from Bob Jones University and an MA in School Leadership from Furman University. I am a graduate of the GCS Aspiring Principals Institute and Instructional Leadership Academy, and was trained in project-based learning by PBL Works, formerly the Buck Institute for Education. I am married and have two wonderful children. We also have a dog, tortoise, and a guinea pig. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, motorcycling, and spending time with my family.
