Greetings!

I’m a proud parent of two boys in the Renaissance school system. My wife, Perri, and I both graduated from Savannah State University in Savannah, Georgia, in 2013 before moving to Ames, Iowa, where I pursued a master’s degree in mechanical engineering at Iowa State University. After a brief stint in Michigan while working for Ford MotorCompany, we recently returned to Georgia to be closer to family as I complete my PhD program remotely.

I’m a strong advocate for education and believe that a great educational experience is built on strong relationships between teachers, students, parents, and the community.I’m truly excited for this school year and look forward to learning, contributing, and helping to create a positive and productive experience for all RES scholars.

Vacant. We would love to have you!

I am honored to serve as the new Corresponding Secretary for our PTA. Being part of the PTA allows me to connect with families, support school-wide events, and help strengthen our school community.

I’m excited to support and serve this amazing school in every way I can!
