I am excited to be a part of the Hartland Middle School this year. Previously, I’ve spent 7 years at Hartland High School as an Assistant Principal and Dean of Students. I also taught for 8 years at various levels throughout Hartland: elementary, middle school and high school. I had the opportunity to have a great post high school experience by attending The University of Iowa, earning my Bachelors of Science and a Minor in Counseling. I am also proud to have attended different colleges throughout Michigan earning my Masters Degree as well as my Administrative Certificate. My experience across all levels of learning has given me a broad perspective for our students. Hartland Middle School is the springboard to the High School where we focus on Reason, Respect and Responsibility working off of a great history of empathy, achievement, grit, linking, empowering and serving.
I grew up in Hartland attending Lakes, Farms and the Old High School. Being in Hartland is a huge part of my life and I could not see myself being anywhere else. I have an amazing family with my wife and three kids all attending Hartland Schools.
I am looking forward to a great year filled with learning and growing, preparing our students for the next chapter in their lives.
