Hello TRES Wolf Families,

I grew up in California, not far from San Francisco.  I graduated from Palo Alto High School and went on Tulane University where I majored in Psychology.  I then attended the University of Kentucky, where I earned a Master’s Degree in Education and an Educational Specialist Degree in School Psychology.  I have served public schools in Kentucky, California, and Washington as a School Psychologist, School Counselor, Behavior Specialist, Program Developer and Special Education Supervisor.  Prior to coming to SVSD, I worked for the Bellevue School District for 12 years in various roles.  I graduated from the Principal Certification Program through the City University of Seattle in 2021. 

My wife, Mary, and I have lived in Fall City for 11 years and we love the Snoqualmie Valley community.  Mary is a chef who teaches cooking classes to children and adults.  We have seven children (six boys and one girl).  We enjoy baseball, hiking, camping and car racing. 

I am honored to serve as the Assistant Principal here at Timber Ridge.
