Administrators

I am honored to be the Principal of Gilbert High School and humbled to serve the faculty, staff, students, parents, and community.  Throughout my career of over twenty years, I have proactively led successful teams as an educational leader and business professional.  Serving as a leader for all these years, I have grown to cherish the opportunities in helping others and therefore I try to always be a positive influence in the lives of those around me.  On a personal note, I am privileged to be married to my best friend, Jennie, and we have four amazing children.  I look forward to faithfully serving the Gilbert Community.
