Assistant Principal, Academics

I am incredibly excited to join the Padre Family for the 2025–26 school year! It is both an honor and a humbling responsibility to support our students in experiencing a rich, rigorous academic journey.

I firmly believe that we are offering our students a one-of-a-kind high school experience—one that builds a strong foundation for success in all areas of life. As a proud native of Tempe and a product of Tempe schools, I truly cherished my upbringing in this vibrant community. It shaped who I am, and I will work tirelessly to ensure that every Marcos de Niza student has the opportunity to create a high school experience even more meaningful than my own.

Over the past fourteen years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching American History, World History, and AP U.S. History, while also coaching multiple sports and sponsoring several student clubs. These experiences have deepened my passion for education and connection.

Now, I’m excited to continue that journey at Marcos de Niza, where we strive for excellence in everything we do—guided by our commitment to:
COMMUNITY. INSPIRATION. ACHIEVEMENT.

Outside of school, I’m a proud husband and father to two amazing children who fill my life with joy and keep me on my toes!

I am truly honored to join the rich tradition of Marcos de Niza. I step into this role with pride and deep respect for all those who have made this such a special place.

Let’s go, Padres!
