School Community Relations

About Me

I grew up in Quinlan and love the Quinlan and Lake Tawakoni area. It is my hometown. My family runs and operates a real estate company and has been instrumental in the community for almost 50 years. I graduated from Texas A&M at Commerce in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. I began working in QISD in December of 1999. I am married and have two children. My son grew up through Quinlan schools and is now married with two small children. My daughter is going into the 8th grade at Thompson Middle School. I do everything I can to promote Quinlan ISD in the most positive manner. I am very passionate about what I do. Quinlan ISD is an awesome place. My motto is "On your worst day on the job, you are still some child's best hope." by Larry Bell. This statement is very true in all of QISD.
