Local Eateries
Davenport’s Pizza Palace
My favorite would have to be the Jim’s Special at Davenport’s Pizza Palace. I remember as a kid all of the times our family would go there after baseball games and all of the team parties we had eating pizza and playing video games. To me, Davenport’s is a Mountain Brook institution.
Making Memories
Supporting our Students
Mountain Brook High School
It is hard to pick one place, but Mountain Brook High School is one of my favorite places. The nice thing is, as principal, I get to visit it every day. As I walk through the halls, I often find myself reminiscing about my time here as a student. I wouldn’t be where I am today without everything this school did for me.
School Pride
Mountain Brook Schools’ Student Showcase
One of my favorite events is the Mountain Brook Schools’ Student Showcase in the spring. I love seeing all of the great things that are going on in our schools and seeing the students share what they are learning with the community. Pictured here is my family; my children who are students, too. Ryann, my oldest, is a graduate student at Samford University. Harrison is a freshman at Auburn University, and my youngest, Meg, is in 4th grade at Brookwood Forest Elementary School.
Mountain Brook Baptist Church
I would have to say getting married to my wife, Jennifer, at Mountain Brook Baptist Church is one of my best memories made here in town. I attended Mountain Brook Baptist Church growing up and lived right down the street. I remember all of the mission trips with the youth group and special times hanging out with my friends there on Sundays and Wednesdays. While we now attend Brookwood Baptist, it was special to be married in the church that had such an impact on my life growing up.
Getting Outdoors
Jemison Trail
I love being outdoors, and one of my favorite spots in Mountain Brook is Jemison Trail. It is always a peaceful place to take a walk or just sit by Shades Creek and enjoy nature.
