About the Principal
As the Principal here at Morton Junior High School, it is my privilege to serve the Morton-Groveland community. I have been here at Morton Junior High School serving as the assistant principal since 2006 and becoming principal in 2022. I spent nine years at Tri-Valley Middle School as a 6th Grade English Language Arts and Social Studies teacher and basketball coach.
As a life-long Central Illinois resident, I graduated from Eureka College in 1997 with a Bachelor's of Science degree in elementary education and a middle school endorsement. While I was at EC, I played basketball and was a member of the National Championship team in 1994. I also graduated from Illinois State University in 2006 with a Master’s degree in Educational Administration.
My wife, Stacy, is a Math interventionist at Starke Primary School in Pekin. We have three children: Abby, Ben, and Katy. We love being part of this wonderful community and enjoy meeting our Junior Potter families. Please stop by the school any time! My door is always open!
