I was born and raised in Richmond and have worked in the Richmond School District for the past 11 years. I attended four Richmond schools--R. J. Tait Elementary, Mitchell Elementary, Cambie Jr. Secondary, and Richmond Sr. Secondary--and look back upon my years as a student in this district with very fond memories. I credit the influence of my family, as well as the outstanding teachers and coaches who were role models in my life, for inspiring me to pursue a career in the field of education. I started my teaching career at J.N. Burnett Secondary in 2000. I taught Science 8-10, Physical Education 8-12 and Health Science 11-12 at Burnett for 7 years; I served in the capacity of Athletic Director and Educational Facilitator for many years. I completed my Masters of Arts in Leadership and Training from Royal Roads University in 2005 and was appointed as Vice Principal at R.C. Palmer in 2007. I had a great 4 years at Palmer and am now excited to be a Vice Principal at A.R. MacNeill Secondary.
My wife is an elementary school teacher and an outstanding mother to our three young children. I also enjoy playing and coaching a variety of sports, both in the school and community.
