I have lived in the Silverton area all of my life. I attended Eugene Field Elementary School, Mark Twain Middle School, and graduated from Silverton High School in 1976. I went to Oregon State University and graduated with a B.S. degree in Agriculture. I then returned to our family farm where I have worked until now.

I have been married for 12 years and have two children, a first grader and a third grader, both attending Eugene Field Elementary.

I have spent a lot of time volunteering at my childrens school and have seen first hand the high quality of education that students in this district receive. I have seen the high level of dedication that the administrators, teachers, and other employees give to the students.

I have also seen the challenges that schools have been and are still facing due to budget cuts. They have had to do more with fewer resources given to them by the state every year. These are challenging times for our schools and probably will be for some time to come.

I enjoy being involved in the educational process both at my childrens school and at the district level. I believe our children deserve the best education we can possibly give them and would appreciate the opportunity to do what I can to help meet future challenges our schools face by serving on the school board.
