As a Plano ISD alumnus, I am grateful to be able to give back to the community which helped shape the person I am today.  I attended Wells Elementary, Schimelpfenig Middle School, Jasper High School, and Plano Senior High School as a student.  After graduating from Plano Senior High School, I attended and graduated from The University of Oklahoma with a degree in Economics.  I earned my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from Western Governors University.

I'm excited to begin my 12th year as a teacher in Plano ISD and my 4th year at Murphy Middle School!  As an educator, I have served as a special education team leader, ACHIEVE Classroom teacher, FOCUS Classroom teacher, and Developmental/Life Skills Classroom teacher.

I am a lucky husband and a proud papa of four "fur babies" - two dogs and two cats.

In my spare time: I enjoy watching baseball (Go Rangers and Cubs!) and basketball (Go Mavs!), playing ultimate frisbee and disc golf, and traveling with my wife.  I was captain of the University of Oklahoma ultimate frisbee team my senior year, and I have also played ultimate frisbee at the semi-professional level for Tulsa and Dallas.
