Hello Yulee Middle School!

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to join the YMS family.  I’ve been a teacher, coach, and dean in the Florida public school system and served as Head of School at a private school. All told, I have 26 years of experience in the field of education. I’m currently pursuing a doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Southeastern University. I’ve been married to Stacy, my high school sweetheart, for over 27 years. We have two children: a son, Jesse, a registered nurse, and a daughter, Taylor, a graduate student at Southeastern University majoring in Special Education. My favorite quote, attributed to Frederick Douglass, states the following: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” Looking forward to investing in the lives of the students, staff, and families at YMS!
