 On behalf of the entire staff, Welcome to Longview Elementary School! 

As many of you already know, Williamson County Schools works diligently towards creating a state-of-the-art facilities designed with children in mind.  Longview is no exception, but it is the staff that truly makes Longview a child-centered place. In our first year our staff came together and formed a family that serves together in an effort to reach every child where they are and assist them in growing into all they can be. As we continue to serve with our Spring Hill community, we will dedicate our efforts to continuous improvement as a school of dedicated adults at the heart of our learning community. During our first year we discovered that we were "Solid to the Core." Then we were truly "WiLD about Longview!" It has taken two years to get to this point and we look forward to showing you what we can do at Longview this year…“Lights, Camera, Longview!”

My wife, Debbie, and I have lived in Spring Hill community with our four children since the summer of 2003. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family. My career in education has also provided me with a large extended family of which I am proud to be a part. As a highly competitive, three time champion of fantasy football, professional football (How ‘bout them Cowboys!) is my main sport of choice, but I enjoy watching playoff hockey and baseball as well. My passion for teaching keeps me in the classroom at Trevecca Nazarene University assisting graduate students with a passion for making a positive difference in the lives of children learn all they can to become effective classroom teachers. When I am not spending time with my family or at school, I can be found playing with my kids, learning, playing guitar, or writing. My personal mission is to teach with passion those who desire to learn, motivate those that do not, and demonstrate self-assurance, compassion, dedication, patience, integrity, loyalty, and love, as a father, husband, educator, and community leader.
