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

As many of you already know, Williamson County Schools worked diligently towards creating a state-of-the-art facility designed with children in mind.  Longview is the manifestation of that vision. It is the staff that make Longview a child-centered place. Last 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 the Spring Hill community, we will dedicate our efforts to continuous improvement as a school of dedicated adults at the heart of our learning community. Last year we discovered that we were "Solid to the Core." This year we hope you will join us in our excitement as we are truly "WiLD about 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, two 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 students with a passion for making a positive difference in the lives of children learn all they can to be effective classroom teachers. When I am not spending time with my family or at school, I can be found learning, reading items of personal interests (Reptiles Magazine is a personal favorite), 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.
