Experience I have been married for 15 years to my husband, who owns a small, family HVAC business. Together, we are raising 3 children in our school district, who will be at different educational levels (elem, middle, & HS) next school year. I have 20 years of experience as a teacher in a neighboring district.
I would like a review of our safety policies to ensure that all students and staff are provided with a secure and supportive environment. I would like to also examine and amend our transportation policy to guarantee that every student in our district has access to safe transportation.

Another policy I would like to review is the rental fees for facilities used for sports and extracurricular activities. While it is necessary to charge a fee, it should be transparent and communicated in a timely manner to allow advisors and coaches to accurately assess program costs. Equally important, the fees should be supportive of our community and structured in a way that does not exclude children from participating due to financial barriers.
Yes, I attend School Board Action and Policy Committee meetings in the Neshaminy School District, as well as in neighboring districts. I also regularly review meetings from school boards across Bucks County. I believe it is important to stay engaged with the needs, challenges, and successes of surrounding districts in order to learn from their experiences and identify best practices. This broader perspective helps us make more informed decisions that support our own families and taxpayers. Maintaining a vested interest in educational outcomes beyond our immediate district enables the board to act proactively, rather than reactively, in addressing emerging issues and opportunities.

I am familiar with the procedures of the Board.
As a lifelong resident of Lower Bucks County, my deep-rooted connection to the community is a fundamental part of my identity. Having grown up in this area, I have witnessed firsthand the traditions, values, and changing needs of the district's schools, families, and local businesses.

My personal experiences in education in a neighboring district (Teacher of 20 Years, Education Foundation Board Member, former Title I Coordinator, former Chief Negotiator, former Advisor/Coach), community involvement, and owner of a small business have allowed me to build meaningful relationships with students, educators, and community members alike.

It is my goal to volunteer my skills to support the community in which I reside- Neshaminy Proud!

I’m not running to overhaul Neshaminy’s policies but to ensure they serve students effectively. I’m keen to review policies ensuring student safety and managing enrollment growth as new neighborhoods are built. As a board member, I’ll examine policies with parents, teachers, and staff, prioritizing transparent communication and equity. My goal is to maintain stability while ensuring resources support every student’s success. By fostering inclusive engagement, I’ll keep Neshaminy a district where every child thrives.
I attend school board meetings in person or watch recordings to balance bedtime with my daughter. I’m familiar with the education and finance committees, public comment, and voting processes. I’ve tracked discussions on managing enrollment growth from new developments. My engagement reflects my commitment to inclusive, transparent decision-making that prioritizes student safety and supports educators. I’ll ensure board processes welcome diverse voices, foster collaboration with families, and address community needs.
As a father of a young daughter and a Neshaminy graduate (K-12), I'm deeply invested in our schools' future. My community perspective will strengthen my role as a school director, ensuring civilian oversight reflects family needs. My time in the Marine Corps honed my leadership, teamwork, and decision-making skills, equipping me to shape policies. I’m passionate about equitable education, student safety, and empowering parents through transparent communication. I’ll advocate for policies that support teachers, engage families, and prioritize student well-being, building a Neshaminy where every child has the resources and opportunities to succeed.
