Meet our School Leadership Team

Howdy Family,

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year, we have so much work to do and I am ecstatic to get right to it! I’m eager to have the opportunity to meet you and work alongside each of you. It will be a part of our daily frame to ensure that our students get the quality education they deserve.

I believe in the old African Proverb “It takes a village” to ensure that our students are successful. I relocated back to Texas a year ago! Before that I spent 11 years educating scholars in Denver, Colorado!  I have over 16 years of working experience as an educator.

When I am away from school, I enjoy time with my family and our horses. I am the proud father of an amazing 11-year-old son. We have 2 pretty awesome horses (Dynamite 53 and Gucci)!

Below you will find a link to a professional development video that I was featured in when I was a classroom teacher. This video will give you a little insight to my personality, and who I was as a teacher-leader!

I am truly committed to the success of our Hoyland Scholars. I look forward to having an amazing school year!

Yours in learning,
