In January, 2010, Brian became Principal at Fort Payne High School. The primary goal was providing students with multiple opportunities to be College and Career Ready through Career and Technical Electives/Pathways. Aside from the multitude of choices at the local county technical school, Fort Payne High School is proud to be able to offer around a dozen Career and Technical Pathways to students on our own campus. Along with these opportunities, Northeast Alabama Community College allows students the opportunity to take classes that might not be offered in the traditional setting. ACCESS classes also allow the student to have more flexibility within their schedule.

Allie is currently attending the University of Alabama and Majoring in Communication Disorders, Speech Pathology. Ava will enter seventh grade at Fort Payne Middle School.
