About Me:
After graduating from Pepperdine in 1961, I began my educational career in the Los Angeles City School District teaching sixth graders. I was a teacher and elementary school principal in California from 1961-1973. I then had the opportunity of being a principal and living in Western Colorado before coming to San Antonio in 1985. From 1985-1993 I served the Fort Sam Houston ISD as an elementary school assistant principal. The Northeast School District became my home in 1993. For ten years I served the Woodstone and Montgomery communities as their assistant principal. It is my honor and pleasure to serve as the principal carrying on the education vision of teamwork and excellence established by those that opened Longs Creek. I feel privileged and blessed to have been associated with outstanding educators throughout my career and I have found Longs Creek to be the same.
