I feel honored to serve you students, your families and our staff as a Dean of Students here at your Larkin High School. I bring to Larkin passion for making the most of each day of life. I am excited to help each of you students grow and achieve great things for yourselves and others. I look forward to seeing you in the halls or your classrooms or elsewhere here on campus.

I and my dear wife have the blessings of three beautiful children. We enjoy spending time with our children, beholding their amazing growth, and providing our guidance where needed. At other times, you can find me gathering with family and friends, tending to our home and property in Cary, or playing on a basketball court or softball diamond.

Students, you are valuable and important. People around you need you, and they need you to appreciate and cherish your own dignity so that you can appreciate and cherish them. We are all here, together. I am here to help remind you of this, to help you see this deeply, and to help you become enthusiastic about using and developing your skills to better the lives of those around you. You are already capable democratic citizens who have daily opportunities to enrich your families and communities. So much of your current and future ability is grown here at Larkin: in your classes, conversations, and activities. Make the most of every moment of each day of the rest of your Royal high school career. You have the power to do so.

Parents and family members, I thank you for the loving support you provide your children and the young people in your care. I invite you to call or e-mail me with questions, concerns, or feedback. If I do not know the answer, I will help get you in touch with someone who does.
