Owner
I earned my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration from Lipscomb University in Nashville TN. My wife Tammy and I have lived and worked in the Franklin community for the past 20 years. We have two sons, Jackson and Cooper. Jackson is at Father Ryan High School and Cooper is at Woodland Middle School. We chose to be part of The Goddard School because it is simply the best option for the overall development of your child. We have spent a lot of time investigating Early Childhood Development Schools. We came away most impressed with the option of the Goddard School and are happy to be a part of their family! We are humbled by the opportunity to make a positive difference in the life of your most prized possessions!

The interaction the teachers have with our daughter is wonderful. We feel that she has really come out of her shell and took steps forward in so many directions.
