I have been in education for the past seventeen years, fifteen  of them with Fort Bend ISD.  I am passionate about teaching reading, language arts, and social studies and am excited to instill that same passion into my students. I have a wonderful wife, Kerry, and two beautiful children, Owen and Lily.  My family and I love to explore and have fun around the area, as we are all very active.  Before I became an educator, I was lucky enough to serve in the Marine Corps for six years.  I believe that reading and writing gives us all the ability to unlock our true understanding of the world around us.
