I am so blessed that God has led me to the opportunity to share my faith and knowledge with the students of St. Mary’s Catholic School. I have lived in Central Texas my whole life, growing up in Hill County and marrying my wife, Agnes, over thirty-eight years ago. She is an instructional aide at Abbott. I have two sons, David, who is the superintendent at Penelope ISD, and Patrick, who is a fourth grade teacher there as well. David’s wife, Natalie, is also the counselor at Penelope. They have two sons, Noah and Evan, who are the joys of our lives.  I am also proud of my daughter, Sarah, who works as a kitchen manager for Silos Bakery and Magnolia Table. I have been in education for over twenty-seven years and hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Education from Baylor University and a Master’s Degree in Education Administration from Tarleton State University. Our faith in the Holy Trinity, our personal relationship with Jesus Christ, our Catholic tradition, and our family play such a tremendous role in our lives – this is what attracted me to SMCS because I know that the foundation of this school is based on these same values and beliefs. I pray for the success of this school and look forward to getting to know each of you.
