Cranberry Pines Elementary School Home

I am honored to introduce myself as the next principal of Cranberry Pines Elementary School. This is my 28th year in education.  I most recently served as the Director of Special Projects for the Woodbury City Public Schools. Prior to that, I served as the principal at West End Memorial in Woodbury and as an assistant principal in West Windsor-Plainsboro. I  started my career in Ewing Township where I served as a first grade teacher. While my professional journey has taken me through a variety of roles, one constant has remained—my unwavering belief in the power of strong school communities and the importance of building positive, trusting relationships with students, staff, and families. Additionally, it is my belief that we must meet all stakeholders where they are and set goals to move forward.

 

I look forward to meet our students and become a familiar face in the building each day. I plan to be deeply involved in the daily life of the school, and I hope the students will get to know me just as much as I get to know them. A little about me…I am local to the area, living in Cherry Hill where my two children attend Cherry Hill West.  My wife, also in education, works at Lenape Regional High School. We have three dogs, Blue, Sprinkles, and Raven. We are a big sports family, sharing the love of all Philadelphia sports teams.

As I step into this new role, I look forward to working in partnership with you to carry on Cranberry Pines traditions and continue building a connected school community. My mission is to ensure every student has an exceptional elementary school experience—beginning with meaningful relationships, high-quality instruction, and a strong
foundation in community and character.
