About Me

Educational History:

I grew up in a small midwest town, Rochelle, Illinois. I graduated from Rochelle High School and furthered my education at Kishwaukee Jr. College and then the University of Dubuque in Dubuque, IA.

Degrees and Certifications:

I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Dubuque in Education and then received my Master’s in Educational Leadership from Lamar University.

Current Position:

This is my eleventh year at Gilmer ISD. My first six years were from 2004 to 2010. I taught history and coached at Gilmer High School. My second stint at GISD started in 2015 when I was hired as the Bruce Jr. High Principal. I genuinely love my job and enjoy building relationships with both the students and the BJHS staff. The staff and I are here everyday to help students to grow academically and to help them to mature into awesome, responsible young adults.

Previous Position:

Prior to the position as Principal at Bruce Jr. High, I was the Principal at Forest Park Magnet School in Longview, TX. I was also the Headmaster at Christian Heritage School in Longview, TX.

Family Info

Family Information:

My wife, Ann and I have been married for thirty-two years. We have five children, Lindsey, Alec, Will, Hannah, and Abbey. We also have four grandchildren with one on the way.

Personal Info

Personal Information:

Anyone that knows me knows that I especially love baseball. The Chicago Cubs have always been my team through thick and thin. Mostly thin, except for the World Series win in 2016! I enjoy being with my family and friends. When I’m not at school I am usually at a game, meet, concert, or a school event and that’s exactly how I want it to be. I enjoy seeing our BJHS students playing and performing outside of the school day.
