Meet David and Marcedes On-site Owners

David and Marcedes are the dedicated owners of The Goddard School of Avery Ranch, bringing over seven years of hands-on operational experience and a shared passion for early education. David, a former applications engineer with a Mechanical Engineering degree from UMass, loves integrating engaging S.T.E.A.M. concepts into the children’s daily activities. Marcedes, a native Austinite and St. Edward’s University alumna, pairs her entrepreneurial background with deep local roots to ensure the school feels like a true extension of the community. When not managing the school, their world revolves around their four-year-old daughter, Sofia. As a family, they enjoy spending sunny days at the lake, hiking local trails, and soaking in Austin's vibrant live music and sports scenes. Deeply invested in their city, David and Marcedes actively support organizations like HAAM and Mobile Loaves & Fishes, extending their positive impact well beyond the classroom walls.
