My Story
Originally from Denver, Colorado, I’ve called Texas home since 2019. My wife, Shelley, and I have been married since 2012, and our daughter, Dominique (Class of 2034), is a student at SACS. After spending over 10 years in the corporate world, I served in the U.S. Army Special Forces, including a deployment to Afghanistan. I eventually transitioned into nonprofit work, driven by a deep desire to serve others and make a meaningful impact. Life’s challenges have shaped me, teaching me valuable lessons in leadership, resilience, and the transformative power of God’s grace and redemption. It’s truly an honor to be part of SACS, advancing its mission through Christ-centered education.

What do you love most about teaching, coaching, or working at SACS?
I love the genuine sense of community at SACS. How we live out our mission with authenticity and purpose makes it a place I am proud to be part of.
Favorite Bible verse
James 4:6-8: “…God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
What are your hobbies and interests?
Outside of work, I enjoy playing and watching soccer, watching movies, hiking with my family, and relaxing on the Guadalupe River.
