Our Goddard School Teachers

I’m thrilled to welcome you to The Goddard School of Smyrna. This community means so much to me and being able to contribute to a place where children learn, grow, and feel loved is an honor I don’t take lightly. From the moment you walk through our doors, my hope is that you feel the warmth and connection that make our school special. For 20+ years, I built a career in finance, but my real passion was always forming relationships, and inspiring people to grow. That realization led me to open the Goddard School of Smyrna with my brother, as a Co-Owner and Operator. This move has brought me closer to a passion I’d been nurturing for years. Children thrive when they’re cared for, encouraged to explore, and surrounded by trusted adults. Creating a warm, joyful space for young learners lets me give back to the community that shaped me. My focus is simple: creating a school where parents feel confident, children feel loved and inspired, and our Goddard Village grows stronger.

Welcome to The Goddard School of Smyrna! As a father, community member, and Co-Owner and Operator alongside my brother, I am passionate about creating a place where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to develop a lifelong love of learning. Born and raised in Kenya, I moved to the United States, proudly served as a U.S. Army Paratrooper, and later built a career in leadership, strategy, and finance. Throughout that journey, I discovered that the most meaningful work is helping people grow and creating environments where individuals can thrive. Those same values guide our vision for The Goddard School of Smyrna. We are committed to creating a warm, nurturing environment where children build confidence, explore their curiosity, and reach their fullest potential. As an onsite owner, I look forward to building relationships with our families and being an active part of our school community every day. Thank you for trusting us with your most precious gift.
