I graduated from Lindbergh in 1986, my dad graduated from Lindbergh in 1962 and my children, nieces and nephews have as well. I began volunteering with Lindbergh Community Education and Recreation (formerly LAA) in 2005, eventually becoming the sports supervisor in 2017. In high school, I was active in student council, student government, water polo and swimming.

I am a proud father of three Lindbergh Flyers and I come from a long line of teachers. I have been endorsed by the Lindbergh National Education Association (LNEA) a second time and am thankful for the trust and faith our teachers have in me. For the last three years I have been serving on the board and I look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve.

In my time on the school board, I have served on many committees, volunteered as a parent with PTO's and parent groups. I am proud to say I was awarded Lindbergh Leader, the district's highest acknowledgement for leadership. Currently, I serve on the student life, technology and facilities board advisories as well as the very popular Lindbergh Holiday House Tour.
