This will be my 11th year serving as an Assistant Principal here at Riverwatch Middle School, and my 13th year in Forsyth County. Throughout my educational career, I have taught grades 1-8, but enjoyed my middle school time due to the ability to coach athletics. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from King University, a Master’s degree from Lincoln Memorial University, and an Educational Specialist degree from Lincoln Memorial University. My family includes my amazing wife Lesley, and 4 awesome kids ranging in age from 3-25. I believe in people and relationships, and I strive to make sure every student has a platform to be their best every day. I am extremely excited for the 24-25 school year, and I look for forward to serving the students, staff, and families of the Riverwatch community.

As a graduate of Forsyth County Schools, I feel especially honored to serve as an assistant principal at Riverwatch Middle School. My teaching career began in 2002, and I taught language arts, reading, and ESOL before leaving the classroom to serve as an instructional coach, student support coordinator, and assistant principal. This will be my 8th year at Riverwatch. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Georgia, a master's degree from North Georgia University, and a specialist degree from Nova Southeastern University. I love seeing the growth and success of our students, both academically and outside the classroom. Go Panthers!
