I’m passionate about making a difference for our kids in our schools by supporting our educators and holding the UCS administration accountable. Now is the time to build trust, communicate transparently, and lead the administration back into a healthy relationship with all stakeholders. My business experience, leadership, and care for our community is the formula that’s needed to make our schools great again. My reputation is built upon trust, commitment, and results. My business, community, and personal experiences will be the right combination to drive good change for our district. This includes experience serving on multiple municipal boards, alumni/church organizations, mentoring, and coaching athletics.
