I have been the proud Principal of Hilton Head Island High School since August of 2019. I have been with the Beaufort County School District since 1999. My education career began in 1996 when I became a Social Studies teacher for the New York City Board of Education. My wife Kim and I moved to Hilton Head in 1999. I was a Social Studies teacher at HHIHS from 1999 through 2012. I was the head JV Baseball Coach at HHIHS from 2000 through 2004. While teaching at Hilton Head High I was the Department Head of Social Studies for 10 years. While at HHIHS I taught almost every subject including teaching IB Theory of Knowledge for 10 years. In 2012 I moved to Bluffton Middle School as an Assistant Principal and served in that position for 7 years. While there I always longed to return to HHIHS. In August of 2019 I was named by the Beaufort School District Board School Board as Principal of HHIHS. I am excited to help our students grow academically and socially to prepare them for their post high school endeavors.

What an exciting time to be a part of the Hilton Head High School learning community. My wife and I along with our two youngest children moved to the area in July of 2021.

I have been serving diverse school communities for over twenty years. I started my teaching career as a middle school math teacher in Evanston, Illinois before serving as an Assistant Principal, and Principal. Over my career I have worked with preschool through high school learning communities.

I earned my Doctorate in Urban Educational Leadership and Master of Education in Educational Leadership from National Louis University. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Illinois State University.

During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, photography, supporting nonprofit organizations, and attending sporting events. I’m committed to the Hilton Head High School’s mission and vision, and meeting the academic, social and emotional needs of our learners.
