Assistant Principals

This year is my 13^th year in education and my third as an Assistant Principal at Aledo High School. I was a social studies teacher and coach in Arlington ISD before my move to AHS. I absolutely love being a Bearcat and being a part of this amazing community. I have a lovey wife at home, as well as a son who attends the Aledo Child Development Center. I am privileged to work in Aledo ISD and have the opportunity to serve our students and their families.

This is my 16th year in education. I spent 10 years teaching high school math in various school districts before serving as a Post-Secondary Success Specialist for a year. For the past four years, I have had the privilege of serving as an Assistant Principal. I moved to Fort Worth from Katy in 2015, and since then, community involvement has been a cornerstone of my life. I serve on multiple nonprofit boards in Fort Worth and remain committed to giving back and supporting our community in meaningful ways.
