Superintendent

I am proud to serve in my 9th year as Superintendent of TEAM Riverside!
 
I grew up in Bigfork, MT, a town very similar to Riverside. I have been married to my beautiful wife, Shannon, for 32 years, and we have 5 amazing children: Nick (29), Allie (24), Lindsey (24), McKenna (24), and Luke (20). We also have two grandsons, Weston and Grayson!
 
Prior to my current position, I served as Assistant Superintendent of Learning Services in the Mead School District for 3 years. Before that, I was the principal of Mead High School for 6 years. Before becoming a high school principal, I was an assistant principal at Mead HS and at Ferris HS. I started my 32-year career in education as a middle school and high school English and Physical Education teacher. 
 
I received my BA in English and MA in Education from Whitworth University, and I received my doctorate in Educational Leadership from WSU. Please know my door is always open, and you can call or text me anytime at (509) 370-1717. 
 
Go Rams!
