Assistant Principal of Instruction
About Me
This is my second year as a Red Imp, but I've been in Mooresville since 2013 where I began working here as a Social Studies Teacher at Mooresville High. As a social studies teacher I taught US History and AP History. I've always been a technology nerd, so in 2014 I was given the opportunity to run the Help Desk at the high school and teach students responsible use of technology and have a greater impact on the school community. While teaching the Help Desk, I received my masters in Instructional Technology and Administration. In addition to working in the Help Desk, I also served as an Instructional Coach.
I came to Mooresville Middle School in Early 2020 as Assistant Principal of Instruction, a job that has many roles and responsibilities. In addition to serving the day-to-day needs of MMS, I serve as testing coordinator, MTSS coordinator, Technology Contact, and PD leader. I love being here, it's a great school with great people.
My wife and I recently moved to the area, after living in Charlotte. I have a son, who is starting Kindergarten this year and a daughter who will be in the STARS Pre-K program in Mooresville. My wife teaches at MHS, and both of us are dedicated to the mission of educating students.
