I am honored and excited to serve as Superintendent of Rocky River City Schools. As a lifelong public educator, I believe deeply in the potential of every student. Our schools should provide opportunities for students to grow personally, academically, and as contributing members of their community. In Rocky River, we will continue to uphold the district’s proud tradition while striving to be caring, exceptional, and competitive.

Before joining Rocky River, I served for six years as Superintendent of Fairbanks Local Schools in northwest central Ohio. I returned to my hometown as a classroom teacher and soccer coach in Westerville City Schools. I then held several leadership roles in Worthington City Schools, including Dean of Students, Assistant Principal/Athletic Director, and Principal. I hold a bachelor’s degree in History and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from The Ohio State University. I am currently a doctoral candidate in the educational leadership program at the University of Miami.

My wife, Mary, and I are proud parents of three daughters: an 8th grader, a 9th grader, and a freshman at the University of Cincinnati. As a family, we enjoy traveling, staying active, and cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes.

I look forward to connecting with our families, staff, and community as we work together to sustain and build upon Rocky River’s tradition of excellence. If we haven’t yet met, please feel free to reach out anytime at [email protected].
