I am a recently retired teacher with 29 years of experience, a husband, a father, and a Christian. I believe that education must be free, fair, and fundamental. I am a conservative who believes in equality, personal integrity, and hard work.
Above all else, my commitment to education isn't theoretical—it is proven by nearly three decades on the frontlines of the classroom and it defines who I am and how I lead. This experience shaped me to be deeply student-focused. Years of ongoing training and daily interactions with students, parents, and administrators have thoroughly prepared me for this position. In addition, I was a business owner for 12 years, so my business acumen allows me to understand the financial aspects of board oversight. Lastly, I am a level-headed, contemplative, and focused person who will listen, participate, and help direct the District using a transparent, data-driven, and long-term planning approach.
The District’s latest plan shows great momentum in college and career readiness (CCMR) and foundational learning, presenting an opportunity to refine curriculum pacing and data protocols to support every student. Rapid community growth also offers an opportunity to align our long-range facility planning with long-term fiscal responsibility.
The Board supports this vision by providing steady, transparent oversight, ensuring administrators and teachers have the resources they need, and maintaining open, data-driven communication with district families and the community.
The most pressing issues facing our teachers today are competitive compensation, workload fatigue, and the need for strong administrative backing in classroom management. When teachers feel under-resourced or unheard, student success ultimately suffers.
To support educators, the Board must ensure competitive pay structures to recruit and retain top talent, streamline non-instructional demands, and provide state-of-the-art classroom tools. Most importantly, the Board should foster an open dialogue where teacher insights directly inform district policy decisions.
The most critical challenge is balancing rapid community expansion with conservative financial oversight. As enrollment rises, the District must expand facilities, upgrade technology, and recruit top-tier staff in a highly competitive market—all while remaining accountable to district taxpayers.
I will support data-driven capital allocation, prudent long-term debt management, and active community involvement in facility planning. By keeping the budget focused on student outcomes and classroom needs, we can manage growth sustainably without sacrificing our educational quality.
Preparing students for civic participation begins with a solid grounding in American history, government, and free-market economics. Effective civics education teaches young people how to analyze information critically, respect diverse perspectives, and engage in civil discourse.
The Board can support these efforts by protecting rigorous, balanced standards in social studies, encouraging voter registration initiatives for eligible seniors, and opening doors for students to observe district governance firsthand through youth advisory councils or civic internships.
