Welcome students and families to NCHS.  We could not be more excited about the 2021-22 school year!  We are confident the combination of rigor, relevance, and curricular alignment provided by our teachers will facilitate a great experience for all our students in a safe and student-friendly learning environment!

I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a B.A. in History and earned my Social Studies/Secondary Education certification from Millersville University.  I spent 15 years teaching and coaching before I earned my Masters of School Administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.  After earning my degree, I transitioned into the role of assistant principal of instruction for two plus years before I was named principal of NCHS in the spring of 2016.

I have a wonderful wife and a son who is starting third grade.  In my free time, I enjoy travelling the world, and doing my best to live what Theodore Roosevelt called the "Strenuous Life".  I have a lifelong passion for tennis, the University of Tennessee, and wearing orange to represent both my alma mater and the Trojans!
