Principal

I love working in education and creating opportunities for all students to be successful, feel safe,  respected and have a fun experience exploring new interests and connecting with people. I have worked as a public educator for over 20 years as a teacher, coach, curriculum developer, teacher mentor, Assistant Principal and Principal. I've worked with students from preschool through 12th grade. I have two Masters in Education degrees, one in Curriculum and Development and the other in Administration. 

Currently, I have the great pleasure of being Principal at Borel Middle School. Borel is a most amazing place with a diverse population of around 900 students and staff that come together to learn and have fun. We have an award winning drama and music program. We have great sports teams and Bobcat Pride! We continue to learn from our students what they need and are interested in and develop clubs and opportunities based on their input. We have a great parent community who supports us every step of the way.

When I'm not at school, I can be found having fun with my family and friends. Together with my partner and two school aged children, we love soccer, skiing, music, art and science. Our family and friends live all over the country so we are grateful to have them visit or travel to visit with them. We are a curious group and love to learn new things and meet new people. We are thankful for the opportunity to live in the Bay Area and serve our community professionally and personally.

I am thrilled to join the Borel community this year as your new Assistant Principal. Before stepping into school administration seven years ago, I taught middle school English for 13 years. My career has taken me to schools across the Bay Area, serving every grade from Pre-K through 8th. I hold a Master's degree in Education and a second Master's in School Administration. Working alongside students, families, and teachers is a privilege, and I believe teaching is some of the most important work there is.

Outside of school, you'll find me playing pickleball, cooking and grilling, strumming the guitar, and exploring the great Golden State with my family. My wife and I have two school-aged daughters and a giant Labrador retriever named Sonny.

I can't wait to meet you and to see all that we'll accomplish together this year. Go Bobcats!
