What am I trying to do? Make sure our students get the best education possible. Make sure our schools are safe and a good place for our students to be.

Your sons and daughters spend the better part of their childhood inside schools. What goes on inside them is why I am on the school board. We offer a wide range of classes to fit the needs of our students. Making sure they get a good education and preparing them for their future is what it is all about.

As a long time resident of Cascade School district I have been involved in many facets of community life. From Room Parent to Little League Coach, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to School Board Member. Being involved in my son’s education is very important to me. If that means being involved in your child’s education, then I am happy to help.

Schools are always facing budget cuts with higher educational demands. The next four years offer new challenges in technological advances, fewer wasted dollars and a higher learning curve. I would like to be there to help.
