I believe that schools must reflect the values of the communities they serve, and that parents have bot the right and the responsibility to play a central role in their child’s education.

My Priorities

  • Be a voice for parents

  • School safety

  • Support teachers

  • Quality education for all

Who I Am

I grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, where my mom taught in the public school system and my sister still teaches today. I'm a proud product of public education myself. I moved to Virginia in 2005 and have called it home for the past 20 years. My wife, Kellsye, and I met at Virginia Tech. She’s a Churchville native and a graduate of Buffalo Gap High School.

We now have three wonderful children — two of whom attend Riverheads Elementary. In 2018, we moved to Spring Lakes to raise our family closer to loved ones. We attend Bridge Christian Church in Fishersville, where we've been active for the past 18 months and have found a true sense of community.

Family, faith, and public service are at the core of everything I do.

My Career

I am a design principal with 15 years of experience designing learning environments for public schools. My focus has been on higher education and K-12 facilities. I work with executive leadership, administrators, and educators on nearly every project. I am a passionate designer who understands that my designs can have a positive impact on the community.

Mission Statement

Let parents be parents and teachers be teachers.

I will do what is right for our children and for our teachers. As a parent with two sons in the Augusta County School System, I have a vested interest in their education. I feel compelled to serve on the Board as a working dad because I genuinely care about their upbringing, education, and quality of life; the early years have a profound impact on their futures.

My approach to leadership on the board will be a balance of my professionalism, paired with the ‘common sense’ thinking of a father.
