Excellence in Education,
Leadership with Heart
As someone who has taught thousands of students, directed and participated in performances across the country, and advocated for educators at the state and national levels, I understand both the challenges and the opportunities in public education. I am confident I am the right person to serve the students, teachers, schools, and communities of Newton County.
Every decision should prioritize what’s best for students: their learning, growth, and well-being.
Focus: high-quality instruction, safe and supportive environments, and equitable opportunities.
Schools are strongest when families, educators, and the community work together.
Focus: transparent communication, partnerships with local organizations, and inviting families to have a voice.
Our schools should be fiscally responsible, accountable, and make decisions that reflect the values of our district.
Focus: wise use of resources, supporting teachers & staff, and planning for long-term sustainability.
Kids, Community, & Commitment: The young people of Newton County are our future, and my goal is to do all I can to ensure that their future is bright. Having lived in Covington for 30+ years, I have grown to love and appreciate our community and I want to see us flourish. As a band director and as a father, I truly care about making our corner of the world a great place for kids to learn and grow. Years ago, Susan and I had opportunities to leave, but we made the choice to build our family and our life here, and that decision has made all the difference.
