Welcome to King George Middle School!

I am so excited to begin another year as Principal at KGMS!

The 2024-2025 school year will be my 12th year serving King George County Schools (KGCS). Since 2013, I have worked in various capacities for KGCS. I originally came to KGCS as the school division's Secondary Program Specialist, then became Assistant Principal at Potomac Elementary School, then transitioned to Assistant Principal here at KGMS, and finally was named Principal of KGMS beginning in the 2022-2023 school year. Prior to serving the King George community, I worked as a substitute teacher and tutor in Ohio, as a teacher and tutor in a private school in Fredericksburg, and as a special education teacher at Massaponax High School.

I graduated from Vinton County High School in 1999, attended the University of Rio Grande for two years and then graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in English from Ohio University in 2004. After moving to Virginia in 2005, I earned a Master of Education Degree from the University of Mary Washington in 2010. In 2016, I earned an Educational Specialist Degree from Liberty University and then, in 2020, I completed my doctoral studies and earned a Doctor of Education Degree in Educational Leadership from Liberty University.

My wife and I met in 2008 while teaching at Massaponax High School and were married in 2018. We are the proud parents of two pitbulls, Bucky and Fancy, and enjoy spending time hiking, sitting on the porch, and watching TV with them. Additionally, as many of you know, I am an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan and spend every Saturday in the fall cheering them on (Go Bucks!).

I am looking forward to a great school year! It is our goal as a school to get better every year and to maximize our resources to provide our scholars with an outstanding education in a welcoming environment. We will continue to utilize our PBIS framework to help all students be successful and we look forward to working closely with students and families to provide the support each student needs to reach their full potential and be prepared for high school. In particular, we plan to focus on and celebrate our belief in students during the upcoming school year while helping them learn how to be Respectful, Accountable, Productive, and Present. That's a RAPP!

Go Foxes!!
