Hello, All!  This class will offer me my 30th credit toward my K-12 Principal License.  I started this journey in Jan 19 (almost 8 months ago) and took as many classes as I could, completed all my Admin Hours at WBLAS, and am looking forward to a new position for me at CRMS as PE Teacher.  I moved to the metro last fall from my position as AD at Staples-Motley where I also coached football, taught PE, Health, and other duties as assigned.  This is my 14 year in education.  I'm thrilled to be near the end, and look forward to an administrative role in the future.  My photo is from a recent fishing trip with my dad.

I'm a 9-12 engineering teacher at East Ridge high school who's finishing his principal's license, and I'll be looking for an administrative position soon.  Married for 32 years with two children, son 21 years old, and daughter 16 years old.  I also teach woodshop and small gas engines, as well as robotics and digital video and animation - I love it all.

I'm a department head, and a peer coach at East Ridge, and love participating in staff meetings sharing what I can.  I believe leadership is a shared model and we can all learn from each other.  We lead through sharing visions, tapping into intrinsic motivator we all possess.  Then we need to facilitate their forward progress and coach them how to pass along what we taught them.
