Biography
I am currently in my tenth year at Ashville Elementary School and 6th year as its principal. The students at AES keep me very busy. I am very thankful for the parents, faculty, and students at AES. The hard work and dedication of the parents and students of the Ashville community help our school to perform at one of the highest levels in the county. We are truly a family at AES and I take great pride in keeping the students safe and providing an atmosphere conducive to learning. I currently reside in the city of Leeds with my wife. I have a total of 4 children, 3 daughters in law, one son in law, and 5 grandchildren with two more on the way. I take my job very seriously at AES but I have been known to have a little fun too. I will continue to work with the parents, students, and other stakeholders in the Ashville community to help make Ashville Elementary School the best that it can possibly be.
