Welcome to Franklin Elementary School

I am honored to serve as the principal of Franklin Elementary. I’m proud to be part of the CAPS district where we are committed to excellence and ensuring that all of our students succeed. We have the power to mold young minds and provide them with the opportunities to succeed in the future. This will be my 8th year in Cadillac, last year as the assistant principal and before that I was teaching science at MTMS and coached basketball. This is my 18th year in education, having taught 2nd through 8th grade and in many leadership roles. I spent one year teaching in North Carolina before moving home, Fraser, and teaching in Detroit for nine years then finally moving my family to Cadillac. We couldn’t be happier. I am supported by my wonderful wife and two children. Most of our time is spent running around to practices and games. I also love to hunt, camp, travel, play sports and spend time outdoors in general.

I have high expectations for myself, the staff and the students. Through hard work and dedication we are ensuring that Franklin Elementary continues to be “THE” place to be!
