Shaping Futures in Baker County

As a proud resident of Baker County since my middle school days, I’ve grown alongside this community, deeply rooted in its values and resilience.

My journey in education began at the University of Florida, fueled by a dream to return and serve the county I call home. For over 33 years, I have served as a teacher, coach, athletic director, school principal, and district-level educational leader. I am currently serving Baker County as the Associate Superintendent of Schools.

This commitment extends beyond the classroom. Whether volunteering as a Little League coach, serving in our local church, or being a part of service groups like the BC Education Foundation, my goal is always to uplift and empower our community. My family and I are deeply invested here; my wife is in school administration, my eldest son is a teacher at BCHS, and all my children, graduates of Baker County schools, embody our dedication to this amazing community.

Together, we are committed to building a resilient and vibrant future for all our children & families in Baker County.
