Favorite Verse:
Isaiah 40:31

Beginning my 29th year in education and 4th at HCA has been a tremendous blessing. The Lord provided the opportunity for me to be at HCA, and I am thankful for His gift.  A verse I am praying we all try to live this year; "Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom, is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her."
Proverbs 8:10-11

My wife Brandi and I have been married for 24 years.  We are both Baylor Bears and are both in education.  Brandi and I are members of First Baptist Garland and enjoy volunteering at our church and in the community. We have two children.  Our son Joseph and his wife Collette recently had their first child, our first grandchild, a little girl named Margot.  Our daughter SarahBeth is a junior at Baylor University as a Fashion Merchandising major, with a business minor in the B.I.C. Honors program, and also a fifth-generation Baylor Bear.
In 1995 I received my Bachelor’s degree from Baylor University, in 1998 I received my Master’s degree from Texas A&M Commerce, and in 2019 I received a postgraduate Ed.S. degree from Liberty University. I take very seriously the call we have to use the skills God has given us to help prepare the next generation through Kingdom Education. Equipping our students with a firm foundation of knowledge in scripture and a depth of their faith, along with an awareness of what the world will throw at them, so they are ready to answer and stand firm in their beliefs is critical and a mission I feel called to fulfill.
