About Me:

A proud graduate of North Schuylkill High School (Class of 2001), I went on to earn my Bachelor of Education in Special and Elementary Education from Kutztown University in 2005. I later completed my Master’s in Educational Leadership with Principal Certification from Alvernia College in 2009.

I am honored to serve as the principal of North Schuylkill Elementary, returning to lead and support the very district that shaped my educational journey. Prior to this role, I spent my entire teaching career with the Blue Mountain School District. During that time, I had the privilege of opening and teaching in an elementary Life Skills Support classroom for six years. My experience also includes teaching kindergarten/first grade and fourth grade learning support. Additionally, I served as Interim Assistant Principal for Blue Mountain Elementary West and Cressona for three months.

I am deeply committed to creating a positive, supportive, and engaging learning environment for all students. While teaching allowed me to impact one classroom at a time, I am excited to now support an entire school community as an administrator.

Outside of school, I enjoy running, reading, and spending quality time with my wonderful son, Owen, and our family. It is truly a privilege to give back to my alma mater and to help every student at North Schuylkill Elementary grow and thrive.

About Me:

My academic background includes a B.A. in Sociology from Lehigh University (2001), a master's in education in Business, Computer, and Information Technology from Bloomsburg University (2011), and Principal Certification through the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit #21 School Leadership Program (2017).  

My journey in education began as an admissions counselor for my alma mater, Lehigh University, where I first discovered my passion for working with students. That passion led me to the classroom as a substitute teacher for the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit #21 and has since grown into a fulfilling career in education. Along the way, I have valued every opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students and families. I believe strongly in the power of partnerships and collaboration in helping all children become the very best versions of themselves. I am grateful to be the Assistant Principal here at North Schuylkill Elementary look forward to supporting our future Spartans in all their endeavors.

Outside of school, I enjoy life as a husband, father, and coach. My wife, Harmony, is the Director of the Poland Division for Olympus America, and our son, Bryan, is a rising senior at Bloomsburg University studying digital forensics. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, spending time with my family, and following sports.

As Assistant Principal, I am committed to fostering a positive school culture that supports learning, growth, and student success. I look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff and supportive families to help every Spartan thrive.
