I am truly thrilled to be a part of Shepard Elementary.  I am an educator of eighteen years and have loved the journey of growth for myself and my students.  I have extensive experience with special education, social-emotional learning, and campus-based goal-setting and achievement.  I gain the most joy in my life out of helping others feel happy and successful.  As a leader, it is my mission to do my part to make sure everyone in our school community feels valued and important.  It is my intention to listen to your needs and follow through so that you have a happy, healthy, and productive school year.  Outside of school life, I am married with three children.  My wife is a teacher in Plano.  We have a daughter in 2nd grade, a daughter in kindergarten, and a two-year-old boy.  My daughters enjoy riding horses, and at this stage, my son mainly enjoys destroying things with a huge smile (I call him El Destructo).  I love being a father, which has made me a better educator.  I am excited to grow alongside you and support you to reach your educational goals. Please feel free to talk with me any time.
