Welcome to the 2022-23 School Year!

As your new Principal I'd like to share a little bit about myself. I have 26 years of experience in education, eighteen of those years as a school site administrator. This school year, I am returning to Murrieta Valley Unified School District, where I previously served as a teacher, an elementary and middle school assistant principal. Most recently, I was with the Etiwanda School District as an elementary principal. I am proud to have fostered a positive school culture that has resulted in improved student outcomes.

I am truly honored to be selected as the next Cole Canyon principal! Coyotes run in packs, and together as a dynamic school community, we will continue to uphold the many traditions that have made CCES a special place while discovering new and exciting learning experiences that meet the needs of all students. It is a privilege to serve you all, and I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm for the love of learning with every one of you.

I have a Bachelor of Arts, a Master of Arts in Educational Administration, and Administrative Service Credentials from California State University San Bernardino. In my spare time, I find time to play my guitar and ride my mountain bike. I truly enjoy spending time with my wife Christina, of 26 years, and our two grown children, vacationing together or serving our local church youth group.
