Merhaba,

Welcome to Travis, Home of the Tigers. Dr. Kibler and I are your CTE Engineering teachers on campus. During the 2024-2025 academic year, I will teach Principles of Applied Engineering and Engineering Design and Problem Solving. I will also serve as the CTE Department Chair. 2019-2020 marked the start of my education journey at Travis High School and I consider myself lucky to be in this role and a part of this family. In addition, I am proud to be a member of FBISD, home to more than 90 languages and dialects spoken.

I am a husband and father - these two executive roles are second to none. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Wichita State University. Prior to my career in education, I was a Product Design Engineer at Textron Aviation for 5 years designing access panels on wing tips, hydraulic installations, redesigning flight control rigging tools and drafting wire routing installations. I also worked in Oil and Gas Industry designing sampling and instrumentation systems and probe assemblies for crude oil, natural gas and light liquids. The sampling equipment was designed to draw a sample from the center of the pipeline and maintain its pipeline conditions during transportation for lab analysis.

I am looking forward to a productive, empowering and exciting school year at Travis! 

I am an avid soccer fan, in particular Arsenal Football Club. Let's talk all things soccer - UEFA Champions League, English Premier League, La Liga, Italian Serie A, etc. I also enjoy woodworking, baking, DIY projects, playing basketball, and traveling.

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it - but all that had gone before." - Jacob A. Riis
