As a small town Mississippi boy, I began a career as a singer/guitarist and stepped into the realm of music leadership during my high school years. I moved on to graduate from The University of Southern Mississippi with a Master’s in Music Education (i.e., M. M. Ed.) in 2004. While working on this M. M. Ed., I served as a general music instructor at West Elementary School, Choir Supervisor at Bayou View and Central Middle Schools, and Choir Director at Gulfport High School.
After graduating with a master’s degree, I moved to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College as the Choir Director on the Jackson County Campus. Later, I served as the Fine Arts Department Chair for the JC Campus. Currently, I am serving as the Dean of Instruction on the JC Campus. MGCCC has over 10,000 students and 13 different Departments, ranging from Science to Career/Technical programs. You check out the college at mgccc.edu.
In addition to being employed at MGCCC, I am working towards a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration with a minor in Instructional Technology.
The best part of who I am is my wife and my handsome baby boy. We just celebrated ten years of marriage and hope to have more kids! I also serve as the worship leader at Crosspoint Church (mycrosspoint.org). I love playing and watching sports (especially the Saints), and I might be best know for eating the last Krystal burger served in downtown Gulfport.

[…] Hello world! A Brief Biography. […]
Hi Jonathon,
I loved your intro! I don’t know if we’ve ever talked about it before but I’ve noticed that many administrators have a musical background. I’d love to do a study one day to determine the characteristics of musicians/band directors and how those qualities transfer into administrative positions.
I love that family is such a big role in who you are. I often worry today that the importance of family is taken for granted. I’m looking forward to reading your blog and, as always, enjoy having you as a colleague in IT courses!
I do accept as true with all of the ideas you have introduced to your post.
They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for newbies. May you please extend them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
I just couldn’t depart your web site before
suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the standard information an individual provide to your guests?
Is gonna be back regularly in order to check up on new posts
