Current Job

I am currently the principal of Clear Creek Elementary in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System.  As principal, my primary responsibilities are administration, supervision and evaluation.

Other Jobs I was principal of Statesville Road Elementary from July, 1995 until June, 2000.  It is also in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System.  I first became a principal at Druid Hills Elementary in June 1986.  My second principalship began in December, 1990 at Bain Elementary.  Between 1982 and 1986, I was an assistant principal at McClintock Junior High School.  Between 1975 and 1982, I was a school psychologist in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

Passions I am an avid tennis player.  I enjoy time with my family.  I am in the choir at my church where I attend regularly.

Must Reads I enjoy reading for pleasure.  I have read every book written by Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy, Patricia Cornwell, John Grisham and Jack Higgins.  My favorite books, however, in the past year have been the nine books in a series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins.  The “Left Behind” series has been a must read for me.  From a religious perspective, these books have been very interesting, but they are also very entertaining as well.  I would recommend them to anyone.

Quotes I am not too big on quotes.  Although I have used some quotes from time to time, I do not know the authors.  A few examples are: "A winner never quits and a quitter never wins." " If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again."
