I am a life long resident of Kennett, MO. I graduate high school in 1994 and served four years in the United State Marine Corps.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Education in 2004, Master of Education in 2009, and Educational Doctorate in 2017.

I have been married to my wife, Tiffany for 18 years. We have three children, Lillian, William, and Kathryn. We enjoy spending time together, being outdoors, and watching our three children in the many activities they are involved in.

After leaving the Marine Corps, I chose to be an educator because I wanted to impact the lives of our youth. As principal of Kennett High School, I have the opportunity each day to inspire my students. I am passionate about creating opportunities that challenge our students and prepares them for their future.
