It is great to be a part of the Ferndale Middle School Family!  I am looking forward to working with our students, teachers, parents, the community and our local leaders. 

I have served as an educator for almost 2 decades, from being a 1^st Grade Teacher to Secondary Math and Science Teacher, and Assistant Principal at Southwest High. Prior to being an educator, I worked in the medical field as a Phlebotomist, while considering medical school. 

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from UNC-Greensboro, Master of School Administration from Gardner-Webb University, and currently working on my Doctorate in Educational Leadership.  

Outside of School, I enjoy spending time with my wife Keyelle who is also an educator, our three sons and our dog, Jade. For fun I like to cook, and I am working on my black belt in Mixed Martial Arts!  

I have no doubt, that this year we have the BEST staff we have ever assembled, and an amazing student body to work with. Continuing our academic excellence, athletic competitiveness, and focus on social-emotional well-being is going to yield tremendous gains for us throughout the year. 

I look forward to working with each one of you this year as we transition “from Good to Great!”
