Meet Mr. Brian. . .

Hello!  Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!  It is my privilege to get to work with your children this year.  It is my sincere goal to help guide your child to be his or her best this year!  Every child has unique gifts as well as unique learning styles.  I will work to help your child discover how he/she learns best and help to foster purposeful learning within him/her.

I have over 24 years in the education field.  I have served as a paraprofessional, teacher, school administrator and now I'm back to teaching!  I also have the privilege of serving students at the Pickens site of Mountain Education Charter High School.

I enjoy spending time with my great nieces and nephews and enjoy spending time with friends!  I will try to foster a learning environment where all students feel accepted and feel excited to learn and to try new things!
