I was born and raised in Columbus and graduated from Columbus High School. I have been a resident in the district for over 35 years. After a successful career working with a local ophthalmology practice, I was inspired by my wife, Amy, who was teaching, to become a teacher myself. I served as a special education teacher and coach at Columbus High School for eight years. I continued my education and became assistant principal and eventually principal at Columbus High School. I am currently a Human Resources Coordinator in Katy ISD.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in exercise and sports science from Texas State University and a master’s degree in educational leadership from Lamar University. I have a valid teaching certificate, principal’s certificate, and superintendent certificate. My wife Amy and I have two sons, Luke, a 2019 graduate from Columbus HS currently studying at Texas State University and Cullen, a senior at CHS.
I currently serve CISD as an active board member. Over the past two years, I have worked alongside our board to increase staff pay, expand our career and technology course offerings at CHS and CJHS, and support the implementation of AVID with the hopes of closing the achievement gap and preparing all students for college readiness. This collaboration has contributed to CISD earning a score of 87 through the Texas Education Agency’s accountability rating system. To date, this is the highest rating CISD has yet to receive.
If re-elected, I plan to continue to work collaboratively to provide support to staff, assist in developing a strategic facilities plan that outlines Columbus ISD’s needs, and implement policies that are beneficial to all students. I would appreciate your vote!
