Administrative Team

I am honored and excited to serve as the new Principal of Boulder Creek High School.

Joining the Jaguar family is truly a privilege, and I look forward to building meaningful relationships with our students, staff, families, and community as we continue the tradition of excellence that makes Boulder Creek High School such a special place.

This year marks my 22nd year in education, and I have been fortunate to serve in a variety of roles that have strengthened my passion for helping students succeed. Most recently, I served as the Curriculum Principal and Athletic Director at Mountain Ridge High School.

I firmly believe that great schools are built on strong relationships, high expectations, and a commitment to excellence both inside and outside the classroom. As principal, my goal is to foster an environment where every student feels a sense of belonging, every staff member is empowered to do their best work, and every family is valued as an essential partner in the educational process.

Outside of school, I am blessed to share life with my wonderful wife and our two children. Although I was born in Michigan, I was raised in Glendale, Arizona, and have proudly called the Valley home for most of my life. Family is at the center of everything I do, and I cherish spending quality time with my wife and children. We enjoy traveling together, exploring new places, creating lasting memories, and experiencing different cultures. These experiences have strengthened my belief in the importance of relationships, community, and lifelong learning—values I am excited to bring to Boulder Creek High School.

Together, we will continue to celebrate academic excellence, support student involvement in athletics, fine arts, clubs, and activities, and prepare every student for success beyond high school. I am committed to listening, collaborating, and working alongside our entire school community to ensure Boulder Creek remains a place where every Jaguar can thrive.

I look forward to meeting each of you and beginning this exciting new chapter together.

Go Jags!

I am a Navy Retired Veteran (24 years of service). I started working at BCHS in 2005. I started in the cafeteria as a part-time Food Server, then in 2 months, was a full-time food server. in 2006 I was the school receptionist for a year, three years as the registrar clerk and 3 years as the Assistant Principals Secretary to Discipline and Athletics. In 2013 I became the Principals Secretary and I am planning to retire from Deer Valley Unified School District in the future.

As your Curriculum Secretary, I'm dedicated to supporting our students' academic journey. Having personally experienced the benefits of this district through my children's education, I'm committed to fostering a positive learning environment. I enjoy assisting students and parents with graduation questions and look forward to continuing to collaborate with our dedicated faculty and staff. When I'm not at work, I enjoy drinking lots of coffee, reading, running and spending time with my family and our three furry friends.

With 28 years in education, I have spent the past eight years as an assistant principal at Boulder Creek High School, overseeing student activities, Flex Intervention Time, and special education services. Prior to my administrative role, I taught chemistry for 19 years, where I nurtured a passion for science, encouraged curiosity about the world around us, and promoted student success through hands-on learning experiences.

I am committed to helping students reach their full potential, engage in meaningful high school experiences, and prepare for life beyond graduation. As an Arizona native, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Biology and Secondary Education from Arizona State University and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I am a proud mom of two daughters, ages 19 and 22, and we love traveling, hiking, playing pickleball, and spending time at the beach. My background in sports, including playing college basketball, continues to inspire my commitment to teamwork, perseverance, and student achievement. As a member of the Boulder Creek High School community since its opening in 2004, I am a proud Jaguar through and through, passionate about helping all students succeed and thrive both in high school and beyond.

As the Activities Secretary, I have found being part of the Boulder Creek community to be a rewarding experience, and I am excited to continue growing in my role. After transitioning roles in January 2026, I have truly gotten to know our students, staff, and families, and have become more involved in the many activities that make BCHS such a special place.

In my free time, I enjoy Musical Theatre, arts & crafts, video games, and spending time with my family and friends. I love bringing creativity and high energy to our already fun and meaningful experiences on campus. I am so excited to work closely with the students, staff, and families who make up our community. I feel so lucky to support event coordination and help keep activities running smoothly while creating a welcoming environment for everyone.

I am grateful to be part of a team that puts students and community at the heart of everything we do, and I look
forward to another great year at Boulder Creek! GO JAGS!
