Why teach at AU?
After serving as a principal and superintendent for so many years in multiple areas, I want to teach and mentor those who desire to pursue those positions of leadership. AU has an incredible reputation for academic excellence and I wanted to be a part of all that the University is doing to prepare the next generation of school and district leaders.

What do you find most enjoyable about working at AU?
Teaching! Teaching is my passion, and I am in the zone when I am with students teaching about any facet of public education.
How would you describe your classes to someone who has never attended one?
We learn all facets of how to lead a school or school district. Having served as a principal and superintendent, I bring practical, real-world experience to the theories we discuss.
