Welcome Mustang Parents & Students:

I am extremely excited to serve as Principal at Marlow Elementary!  I have many fond memories of my days as a student here,  beginning in Kindergarten in 1985. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would have the opportunity to lead such an amazing staff and serve these wonderful students and their families.  

My educational background is a little nontraditional.  I was the Band Director for Effingham County Middle School as well as an Assistant Director for the Effingham County HS Marching Band for 14 years!  I then took on a new role as Assistant Principal at Sand Hill Elementary where I had the privilege to serve for 4 years before coming here to Marlow.  Music was a passion of mine growing up, but I soon realized that my calling was not to just teach music, but to motivate and inspire others to reach their full potential.  I believe that all students can learn and achieve great things when they are provided with a positive learning environment and teachers who are deeply invested in them.  We share that passion here at Marlow and will strive each and every day to provide that for your children.

Above is a picture of my family at Rincon First Baptist Church on Easter Sunday, 2021.  My wife, Kenza, is the Band Director at Ebenezer MS, where she teaches and inspires over 300 students daily!  Our two sons are Colton and Easton.  Our family enjoys the outdoors and especially fishing and camping on the Ogeechee River, where I grew up as a child.  

I look forward to an amazing year at Marlow and especially look forward to meeting and building relationships with our students and their families.  Marlow Elementary is a special place, full of amazing staff and students, and I am honored to be a part of the family.  

My door is always open - please feel free to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns.
