The 2023-2024 school year will mark my 17th year in education.  Prior to going into administration, I spent 6 years as an intervention specialist in southern Ohio and then in Newark.  I spent 2 years at Northridge Middle School as an assistant principal prior to coming to MVHS.  

In 2005 I graduated from the College of Wooster with a philosophy major. While at the College of Wooster I was active with the basketball team as a player and a coach.  I went on to obtain two master's degrees from the University of Rio Grande (special education) and Concordia University of Chicago (educational leadership).  

I am a proud resident of Mount Vernon.  I have three daughters in the Mount Vernon City School District.  I, along with my wife (Jessica) and our three daughters (Suttyn, Henley, and Millie), enjoy riding horses, spending time outdoors, and attending after-school activities at MVHS.
