This is my 15th year serving the Republic School District and fifth year as building principal. I previously spent four-and-a-half years teaching 4th and 5th grade at Lyon Elementary. I then spent six-and-a-half years as the Assistant Principal at Sweeny. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Missouri State, my Master's Degree in Educational Administration from Lindenwood University, and a Specialist Degree in Education Administration from Missouri State. I have lived in Republic since I was four, and love giving back to the community that gave me so much. My wife, Morgan, and I have a daughter, Ellie. She is full of spunk and definitely keeps us on our toes!

Our goal is to create an educational environment where students and staff are excited about entering our doors each day.
