Welcome to Mackinaw Trail Middle School

"Education has the power to change the world," as famously stated by Nelson Mandela. I've been fortunate to have served students at Cadillac Area Public Schools for the past 25 years and I am honored to currently be serving as the principal at Mackinaw Trai Middle School. My wife and I are grateful to CAPS for providing a dynamic educational experience for our three children.

My journey in education has included various roles such as teacher, elementary principal, and coach. My passion for education runs deep, as I am constantly seeking ways to engage, support, and inspire our students and staff. Witnessing the academic, social, and emotional growth of our middle school students is truly amazing. It brings me immense joy to work alongside such a remarkable group of young individuals, their families, and our dedicated staff.

I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to join forces to create a fantastic year ahead at Mackinaw Trail Middle School.
