Administrative Team

I was born and raised in Claymont. My early years of education were spent in the Brandywine School District. My time in Brandywine made such an impression that once I graduated from college I wanted to return to BSD as an educator. I have been a special education teacher at the elementary and middle levels, but my heart lives with Talley. I believe that schools should be at the center of the community, forming relationships with families and community members. I am excited about working with the students in a capacity as the Assistant Principal. My goal is to help them grow developmentally and academically so they are prepared to reach their future goals.  

 

I can be found in the community with my husband and two children. I am extremely close to her family, who all reside in the Claymont community. I am a board member of the Ladies Auxiliary at the Claymont Fire Company, was an active volleyball and softball coach for many years, and can be found on stage and behind for anything musical that happens at Talley. 

 

Skiing, Snowboarding, and Being on the water

I remember being a student at Burnett middle school and the impact both teachers and administrators had on my life as a student. Before attending middle school, I had never given any thought to being an educator. I honestly thought I would be a Wilmington fireman like my father. Once relationships and supports were established with former teachers and administrators is when I realized education is where I wanted to be. The opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of students is an honor.

 

I have been with the Brandywine School District for over 20 years and I am excited about being here at Talley. As one of the administrators, I look forward to supporting our families and staff members as we encourage and prepare our students for both high school and life.

 

I am a proud husband, a father of three children, and a happy grandfather.
