Assistant Principal

Assistant Principal

It is with great honor and excitement that I continue to serve Oak Harbor Intermediate and our community as the Assistant Principal! I have had the privilege of calling Oak Harbor home for the past 14 years, and there truly is no other place I would rather be. This year marks my 10th year at OHI, and I am incredibly proud to have been part of the school since it first opened its doors. Over the past decade, I have had the opportunity to work alongside an amazing team of educators, students, and families, and I am continually inspired by the passion and dedication of our Panther community.

This is my 17th year in public education, and throughout my career I have had the opportunity to teach students in grades 5–12. My passion for education has always been grounded in the belief that every student can learn, grow, and be prepared for all of life's opportunities. There is nothing more rewarding than helping students discover their unique gifts, strengths, and passions and encouraging them to use those gifts to make a positive impact on the world around them. As Assistant Principal, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside our staff and families to make this a reality for every student at OHI.

Outside of school, I am a proud husband and father of two children. My wife, Alexa, has an elementary teaching background and now teaches preschool at Whidbey Grace. Our son, Liam, is 12 years old, and our daughter, Rachel, is 9. Somehow, they continue to grow up much faster than I would like! As a family, we enjoy reading, playing sports, spending time outdoors, and hiking whenever we get the chance.

I feel incredibly fortunate to call Oak Harbor home and OHI my school. It is an honor and a privilege to serve our students, staff, and families, and I am excited for all that the future holds for Oak Harbor Intermediate. Go Panthers!
