My passion for education and athletics is what started my career as a teacher. Now, each passing day is a reflection my desire to impact students and student-athletes in a positive way. As a coach, I am the leader of a team. It means leading your team to pursue greatness and success, even through challenges and change. I have tackled issues such taking a losing football team build enough confidence to finish third in the district. This leadership has transcended my teaching and interactions with staff. As a staff, we succeeded because we are a team and we are able to work together. Due to the relationships built, I was able to challenge teachers to implement a new building strategy for behavior with a focus on reflection to reduce suspensions.
