The 2024-25 school year will be my 35th year in public education.  I have served for the last 14 years as a small school superintendent, with the last two being at Friend Public School in Chickasha, Ok.  I am a graduate of Marshall High School and my wife and I are excited to be back in good ol' East Texas.  I started my career as a soccer coach and remember many great battles against the Mud Dogs!  Along the way, I have served as an Assistant Principal and Principal at the JH and HS levels.  Pine Tree has a long-standing tradition of excellence, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the team! My wife Stacey and I have been married 26 years, and we have two boys- Luke, who is 22, and Landry, who is 18. I look forward to meeting everyone in the Pine Tree family!  Go Pirates!

I am starting my 28th year in education.  I have worn lots of hats in a school:  HS Principal, Elementary Asst. Principal, Director of Fine Arts/UIL Academics, Director of Technology, Journalism Teacher, and Business Computer Applications teacher. I think my experiences make me a well-rounded administrator and I just want to help teachers or students any way I can. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from UT Tyler and a Master's in Educational Leadership from SFA.  I have been married to my husband, Mid, for 30 years. We have 3 kids: Blake is 23, Claire is 20, and Natalie is 16. I am very excited to be back in Pine Tree and continue to build relationships so I can be a positive influence for students.

With 15 years of experience in education, I am thrilled to be part of the Pirate Family. I earned my bachelor's degree from East Texas Baptist University and obtained my teaching certification from Letourneau University. Following that, I completed my master's degree in educational administration at Lamar University. I am deeply passionate about empowering young people to succeed and thrive, and I am committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment where students can learn, develop, and grow confidently. Outside of work, I enjoy the beach, reading, and attending church with my family at Mobberly Baptist, where we are members. I am happily married to my husband, Cody. We are proud parents to three wonderful daughters: Riley, 15, Hayden, 11, and Emmie, 6. Our family has strong roots in East Texas, and we are eager to serve the Pirate community. Go Pirates!
