My wife and I are the proud parents of an Eagle Scout and we have volunteered throughout the community on many endeavors including scouts and school PTO's.
I am an actuary by background, with a strong finance and leadership background.
I referee soccer at the High School and CYC level and have done so for more than 30 years.
My son-in law is a past SLCC student.
I have demonstrated a strong committment to all aspoects of public education, from kindergarten through college at every stage of my public service. I believe that a strong public education system, culminating with access to affordable college is key to providing everyone with opportunity they need to succeed- The Board of Trustees' most important role is to hire and then monitor the performance of the Chancellor. The current incumbent has announced his intention to retire in 2 years and the Board will choose his replacement. Having led the hiring for a school superintendent while President of the Webster School Board, I have first hand experience with what is an arduous task that I can bring to the process. In my time on the Webster Board I have also learned how a board sets priorities and goals and then manages without interfering with the day to day activities of the individuals tasked with delivering on those priorities and goals.
- As higher education costs rise, STLCC plays a vital role in offering affordable associates and bachelors degree programs, workforce training, GED programs and community learning. But access to education isn't just about tuition - transportation, childcare and other barriers must also be addressed. I will work to ensure that nothing stands in the way of a desire to learn and to become a more productive member of society. Education is the step ladder that offers one of the best opportunities to lift yourself up and to get the well paid middle class jobs that allow people to support themselves and their families and to realize the American dream.
- STLCC is modernizing its campuses to provide better facilities, expand programs, and increase access to education. As a former school board member, I know how to ensure that construction projects are completed on time and under budget. I place a priority on utilizing local contractors who will employ local workers and which will keep the wages in our community.
