I presently serve as a leadership coach and school improvement consultant.  My most recent prior roles were as the Superintendent of Jefferson County School District and Jefferson ESD in Central Oregon.  Prior roles included Assistant Superintendent of Salem-Keizer Schools and serving as the principal of Crook County Middle School, Crook County High School, McNary High School, McKay High School, and Warm Springs K-8 Academy.  In total, I have 17 years of experience as a principal.

While my teams experienced success in each school, my most impactful experiences were at McKay High and Warm Springs K8 Academy with the support of a federal School Improvement Grant (SIG). The improvements at McKay High School are featured in an August 18, 2015 Education Week article titled, Five Things Successful Turnaround Schools Have in Common.
