I grew up in an education family, and I am a proud NEISD product of Colonial Hills ES, Jackson MS, and Churchill HS student. I have spent over half of my life going to school or working in education in NEISD. I participated in football, basketball, and track during my high school years and football at Baylor University. I am very fortunate to have met my wife, Valerie, in San Antonio and we have been married for 30 years. We have two sons, Colton, 2014 graduate of Johnson, and Jack, 2020 graduate of Johnson, that we are very proud of. When not working at school or attending a school event, I enjoy spending time with my family and golfing.

I went to Baylor University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Education. In 1995, I earned a Master of Science Educational Administration degree from Texas A & M University – Kingsville.  I began my teaching and coaching career at Marble Falls HS in 1986.  After two years, I moved to Marshall High School in NISD where I taught and coached for 10 years. After one year at Southside HS, I moved to Churchill HS to rejoin NEISD. In 2009, I became an assistant principal at Lee High School and in 2012, I was named the principal of Bush Middle School. For the past four years, I have been the proud principal at the best high school in San Antonio, Claudia Taylor “Lady Bird” Johnson HS. As I enter my 37th year in education as the principal of Johnson HS, I am looking forward to working with the students and families of this community every day. I believe that involvement in extracurricular and/or co-curricular activities is a vital part of the overall experience that every student should enjoy before leaving high school.

Before joining the Johnson Administrative Team in 2016, I was the Assistant Director at The Academy of Creative Education (ACE) for four years. I joined the North East ISD family in 2008 as an English teacher for the STEM Academy at L.E.E. High School.

I have lived in many different states and countries as my father was in the US Army.  I graduated in 1994 from the University of California at Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Arts in English and earned my Master of Education in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies in 2012 from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Prior to becoming an educator, I worked as a Media Manager in the Advertising field for a variety of clients. 

My husband, Brett, is also an educator, and we have one son.

Please contact me anytime with questions; I would very much like to hear from you.

I grew up in rural Wisconsin and graduated from Eleva-Strum High School in 1992.  After high school, I went to the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse and earned a degree in Kinesiology and a minor in Adapted Physical Education.

After graduating college, I moved to San Antonio and started my career in education at Krueger Middle School.  During my 12 years at Krueger, I taught Special Education and Physical Education, coached various sports, and I was the first AVID Coordinator for the campus.  During my time at Krueger, I earned a Master of Education in Educational Leadership from UTSA.  In 2010, I transitioned from middle school to high school and started the Achieve Program at Johnson High School.

In 2012, I was named the Assistant Principal at Bradley Middle School.  I spent one semester as an Assistant Principal at Lopez Middle School before returning home to Johnson High School as an Assistant Principal in 2015.  

On a personal note, I have been married to my wife Liz for many years.  We have three daughters Isabella, Madelyn, and Lauren who love to attend Johnson events, so you will often see them at games, concerts, and performances.

I joined North East ISD in 2006 and have had the opportunity to work at Wood Middle School, Madison High School, Bush Middle School and now Johnson High School. In 2003, I graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Business Administration. In 2013, I completed my Masters in Educational Administration at Texas A&M-San Antonio. My husband Blake and I have two children and in our free time enjoy traveling and staying active. I am looking forward to a great school year! Go Jags!
