Hello, students, parents, and staff! I’m super excited to be back in the saddle in my 5th year as principal at Nash Middle School. My mission is to create a positive, supportive, and engaging environment where every student can thrive. I believe that each of you has unique talents and potential, and I’m here to promote that we foster a school culture that encourages curiosity, respect, and a love for learning. I look forward to working with you all and making this school year the best one yet!
I am in my 20th year in education. I spent 10 years as a high school science teacher. I taught Earth Science, Chemistry, Biology, as well as Anatomy and Physiology. I also coached high school football, wrestling and basketball. After teaching, I was a high school principal for 5 years before joining the Central CUSD 4 family.
I am married to my awesome, supportive wife, Hillary. We have 3 wonderful children: Ezekiel (12th grade), Fabienne (11th grade), and Aileen (7th grade). We live on a small family farm that has been in my family for over 100 years.
