Our President

This is my 25th year serving the Nadaburg family.  I began my journey here in early 2001 as a substitute science teacher working in the 7th & 8th grade junior high.  Over the years I have held several titles; teacher, coach, bus driver, coordinator, athletic director, principal and now the Proud President of the Nadaburg Education Foundation.  

A native Oregonian, I was born in Salem and raised around the state, finally settling in Redmond where I graduated with the Spirit of ’76 class.  1976 that is…😊

I joined the United States Navy after graduation, serving at various commands both ashore and afloat on the cryptologic side of the intelligence community.  After a rewarding career I retired with 20 years honorable service. Along the way, I managed to earn a BSc in Geography with a minor in Early American Colonial History from the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland and a MSEd in Elementary Education from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

After my retirement I settled in Arizona where I was a supervisor for the 2000 U. S. Census, where I managed the destruction of census forms at the Western Regional Center in Maryvale, Arizona.  I attended night school at Northern Arizona University to earn my administrative certificate.

This is my 2nd year as the Proud President of the Foundation, I was one of the original founding members in 2014.  Since that time, I have worked to further the Foundation’s mission and vision to provide additional resources to the students in the Nadaburg Unified School District.  

I look forward to working with each and every one of you as we strive to exceed every expectation and accomplish every goal to help every student achieve their dreams.
