FJHS Principal

I am incredibly excited to serve as the new principal of Farmersville Junior High! Since entering education in 2011 as both a teacher and an administrator, I have been fortunate to build a deeply rewarding career. I am grateful every day for the opportunity to work alongside such dedicated staff and wonderful students.

My wife, Autumn, is an elementary school teacher, and our two children, Ava and Arthur, proudly attend FISD schools. As a family, we love to travel, hike, camp, cook, and spend as much time outdoors as possible.  I also enjoy disc golf, barbequing, and video games - hobbies I’m always happy to chat about!

Our family is excited to be a part of the Farmersville community, and I cannot wait to collaborate with the amazing students, teachers, staff, and families at Farmersville Junior High School to make this a phenomenal year.

Go Fightin' Farmers!
