Meet the Associate Superintendent


IMG_0940-Small.JPG

Welcome to my webpage!

My relationship with East Peoria Elementary District 86 began in 1973 when I walked through the doors of Woodrow Wilson Grade School as a Kindergarten student.  Since that time, District 86 has played a significant role in who I am as an individual and as a professional.  I attended Woodrow Wilson through the sixth grade, went on to Central Junior High School for seventh and eighth grade, and graduated from East Peoria Community High School. 

I graduated from Bradley University in 1991 with a bachelors degree in elementary education.  My graduation from college brought me back to District 86 where I taught third grade at Woodrow Wilson School and eighth grade history at Central Junior High School over the next nine years.  After completing my masters degree in educational administration at Illinois State University in 2000, I became the principal of Glendale School for the next decade until the Board of Education hired me in 2010 as the district's associate superintendent.  In May of 2012 I completed my Ed. Specialist degree at Eastern Illinois in administration and earned superintendent certification.

I spend my free time reading, traveling, and serving in my church as the song leader.  My wife and I met while both working in District 86, and we have a wonderful home and four beautiful children.  We are very close to our immediate and extended family with whom we spend a great deal of time.

East Peoria Elementary District 86 is truly a wonderful place to work and serve, and I have been blessed to enjoy very positive relationships with students, staff, and families.  It is my hope that the children in District 86 today receive the same quality of educational excellence that I received as a student in this district.   It is a privilege to serve the students in this community!
