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-nine years ago. She is an instructional aide at St. Mary’s. I was ordained a Deacon of the Catholic Church on August 10, 2020. I have two sons and daughters-in-law, David, who is married to Natalie, is the superintendent at Penelope ISD, and Patrick, who is married to Lacey, is a fourth and fifth 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 and her boyfriend, Peter.

I have been in education for almost forty 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.
