As an educational leader, I believe all students can learn, and deserve the opportunity to learn in a positive school environment. This principle is accomplished at Mulvane with our highly qualified, student-focused staff. With a foundation of high-impact instruction, Mulvane Schools strive to develop and sustain a culture of student success, to attain our mission… To empower all students with academic, life, and social skills.

My Background…

Although much of my time growing up was spent in South Central Kansas, I eventually graduated High School from Oologah, Oklahoma. After earning a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education from the University of Kansas, I returned to Oklahoma to teach high school science and coach at Tulsa Union High School. After earning a Master’s degree in Educational Administration from Southern Nazarene, I began my administrative career at Union. After several years in secondary administration, my family and I jumped at the opportunity to return to South Central Kansas in 2009, specifically in Mulvane as the High School Principal. In 2014, I earned a Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma in Educational Leadership, and then, after serving for nine years as the Principal at MHS, I transitioned to the role of Superintendent of Schools in 2018.

During my time here in Mulvane, I have seen that Character, Commitment, and Diligence are strong throughout our community and schools, making USD 263 an exceptional place for our students and families. My wife, Eden, and I have four children who are students in our Mulvane Schools, and we are blessed to have the chance to raise them in our community. We have loved being here and making Mulvane our home, and we look forward to the future for our Wildcats!
