My service on the Auburn District School Board began after I was nominated & unanimously appointed by community members, district administrators and teachers to fill a vacant board position in December of 2014. I ran for and was re-elected to the seat in 2015. My prior extensive experience in board policy and governance both in the for-profit and non-profit arenas has benefited my School Board service greatly. Growing up in a family of teachers and educational advocates has also aided me in this capacity. My wife and I have lived in Auburn for 19 years where we have raised our 3 children. Two of whom are current students at Auburn Mountainview High School, our eldest is away at University. I care deeply about our community, education and our students. I believe that all students deserve equal opportunities and the support to succeed.
