I am a results-driven leader with over 10 years of experience in program management, operations, staff leadership, marketing support, and community engagement across education, athletics, and nonprofit-adjacent environments. I have led large, high-visibility programs that required balancing people, logistics, budgets, events, and stakeholder relationships while maintaining a strong focus on culture and outcomes.Most recently, I served as the Head Football Coach and Program Director at South Paulding High School, where I managed a 6A program overseeing staff, scheduling, transportation, fundraising, sponsorships, and day-to-day operations. During my tenure, I helped grow program revenue by over 39%, coordinated more than 150 annual events, and worked closely with local businesses and community partners to strengthen engagement and support.Previously, I held leadership roles as an Offensive Coordinator, Assistant Head Coach, and Assistant Athletic Director at Pebblebrook High School and Freedom High School. In these roles, I supported executive leadership, coordinated large-scale events, managed logistics and transportation, assisted with marketing and communications, and helped align operations across multiple teams and stakeholders.I am a United States Army veteran with experience operating at both the unit and troop levels, bringing a disciplined, adaptable, and team-first approach to leadership. I hold an Education Specialist degree in Coaching Pedagogy, a Master of Science in Sport and Fitness Administration/Management, and multiple certifications in leadership, performance development, and strength and conditioning. I am also comfortable leveraging technology and data tools to support decision-making, evaluation, and continuous improvement.Born and raised in DeLand, Florida, I am passionate about work that strengthens local organizations, builds meaningful relationships, and creates positive experiences for people and communities. I thrive in roles that require wearing multiple hats, supporting leadership, and stepping outside of traditional job descriptions to help teams succeed.
