About me

I am honored to serve as the Principal of Carthage Elementary School and to call Smith County home. My career in education has allowed me to serve in many roles, including principal, assistant principal, athletic director, teacher, coach, and district coordinator, each shaping my passion for serving students and supporting educators. Above all, I am a devoted husband to my wonderful wife and a proud dad of four incredible children, who inspire me every day to lead with compassion, integrity, and purpose. I believe strong schools are built through relationships, hard work, and a genuine commitment to helping every child succeed, and I am honored to serve the families and community that have given so much to me.
