I am privileged to say I am the Principal of École Sir John Franklin High School. I am originally from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I have spent my entire educational career at Yellowknife Education District No.1. I am now entering my 30th year in teaching. During this time, I taught at Mildred Hall School and was an administrator at William McDonald Middle School, Range Lake North School, and now ESJFHS. I live with my wife, Pam and two amazing daughters, Ally and Mia. 

I am a 1992 Grad from St. Francis Xavier University and hold a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership from the University of New Brunswick. I was also selected to the NWT Education Hall of Fame in 2015. I represent the NWT school administrators on the executive committee of the Canadian Association of Principals. By pursuing lifelong learning, I intend to be an example for students and staff that we should never stop learning. I want to see our students excel and become productive human beings, who have ample opportunity to become whatever they want to be.
