If our staff requires specific information to complete your request or inquiry, they will contact you separately from an individual district-email address or by phone."
I am a dedicated leader and educator committed to building resilience, discipline, and excellence in our students both on the field and in the classroom. My journey in leadership and education spans over two decades, beginning with a 21-year career as a U.S. Army Special Operations Officer—serving in infantry and civil affairs across six combat deployments—before transitioning into public education as a history teacher, department chair, and coach.
Throughout my career, I have focused on comprehensive student development, strategic program building, and fostering a culture of teamwork and high performance. Drawing from my previous experience as a Social Studies Department Head and Head Track Coach at Ingram Tom Moore High School and my background in strength, conditioning, and athletic periodization, I believe in equipping students with the foundational tools they need to succeed academically and physically. I hold dual Master's degrees in Public Administration and Military Operational Science, and I am currently pursuing a Principal Certification through Schreiner University.
Beyond the school campus, I am deeply invested in the local community that my family and I proudly call home. Outside of school hours, you will find me managing my property in Center Point alongside my wife and fellow veteran, Teresa, a registered nurse, and our three children who attend CPISD. I am also honored to serve as the Commander of American Legion Post 583, supporting our local veterans and civic initiatives.
I look forward to contributing to the continued success, growth, and pride of Center Point ISD as your Athletic Director and Head Coach. Swords up

Benefits of School Athletics
The Center Point Athletics program offers numerous benefits to students, fostering a sense of belonging and pride within the school community. Successful athletic programs enhance school spirit among students, staff, and the broader community, with sporting events promoting cohesion by bringing people together. Participants in school sports are more likely to maintain an active lifestyle into adulthood and develop a lifelong passion for physical activity.
Regular physical activity significantly enhances cognitive function, improving concentration, memory, and overall academic performance due to the release of neurochemicals which are crucial for motivation, mood, attention, and learning (MDPI). Sports also teach students essential time management skills as they balance academic responsibilities with athletic commitments (Active Living Research). The discipline required for sports translates into better study habits and academic performance (BioMed Central).
Athletic programs support physical health by improving fitness, encouraging healthy habits, and developing motor skills. They also benefit mental and emotional well-being by reducing stress, boosting self-esteem, and fostering resilience. Social skills and teamwork are enhanced through collaboration, forming friendships, and practicing leadership. Additionally, sports instill a strong work ethic, fairness, respect for opponents, and perseverance. Integrating athletics into the school experience provides students with a well-rounded education that supports their physical, mental, social, and academic growth.
Center Point Middle School and High School has a variety of sporting opportunities to offer our students.

Engaging in outdoor athletics in high heat can be challenging and potentially dangerous. Here are some important tips to ensure safety:
- Drink Water Regularly: Drink water before, during, and after physical activity. Aim to drink at least 8 ounces of water every 20 minutes during exercise.
- Electrolyte Balance: Consider sports drinks that contain electrolytes to replace sodium, potassium, and other minerals lost through sweat.
- Light-Colored Clothing: Wear light-colored, loose-fitting, and lightweight clothing to reflect the sun’s rays.
- Moisture-Wicking Fabrics: Choose clothing made from moisture-wicking materials to help keep your body cool and dry.
- Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to all exposed skin, and reapply every two hours or more frequently if sweating.
- Intensity: Lower the intensity of your workout or take more frequent breaks to avoid overheating.
- Gradual Exposure: Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts over a period of 1-2 weeks to help your body adjust to the heat.
- Shaded Areas: Whenever possible, choose shaded areas for your workout to reduce sun exposure.
- Avoid Concrete and Asphalt: These surfaces can become extremely hot and radiate heat, increasing your risk of overheating.
- Cold Packs: Use cold packs or wet towels on your neck, wrists, and forehead to cool down quickly after exercise.
- Cool Showers: Take a cool shower or bath to help lower your body temperature.
Know the Signs of Heat-Related Illnesses
- Heat Cramps: Muscle cramps, often in the legs or abdomen.
- Heat Exhaustion: Heavy sweating, weakness, cold, pale and clammy skin, fast or weak pulse, nausea or vomiting, and fainting.
- Heat Stroke: High body temperature (above 103°F), hot, red, dry or moist skin, rapid and strong pulse, possible unconsciousness. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention.
- Rest When Needed: If you feel dizzy, weak, or excessively tired, stop exercising and rest in a cool place.
- Seek Medical Help: If you experience symptoms of heat stroke, seek medical help immediately.
By following these precautions, you can minimize the risks associated with exercising in high heat and enjoy your outdoor activities safely.
