With 24 years of active-duty service in the U.S. Coast Guard, I am a dedicated husband, father, and leader committed to serving my community. After retiring, my family found our “forever home” in the Boyertown Area, where I intend to continue my legacy of service.
I believe strong schools build strong communities and am committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to succeed. My experience managing budgets, resources, and logistics in high-pressure environments has prepared me to make responsible financial decisions that prioritize students and educators.
As a school board member, I will focus on transparency, accountability, and community engagement. I believe in keeping politics out of the classroom, supporting teachers, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are used efficiently to benefit students.
With a selfless service mindset, I am ready to continue to be a voice for community and work toward a stronger future for Boyertown schools.
- Community Engagement and Complete Transparency: I will end the current board’s lack of engagement by creating opportunities for parents, teachers, residents and students to have a voice in the decision-making process. I will start with town halls, social media, and reliance on the community to share any other methods of accessibility that work for them! Transparency builds trust, and I will work tirelessly to ensure our community is informed and heard.
- Fiscal Responsibility: With rising costs and limited funding, we must be accountable for every dollar spent. I will prioritize spending on classrooms and teachers, which will directly contribute to student success. Instead of just cutting programs or constantly voting down spending, I will explore grants, partnerships and other innovative funding solutions in every effort to “get to yes.” Our students have one shot at a strong public-school education, and we cannot afford to sit back and watch time slip away.
- Keeping Politics Out of the Classroom: Education should be about learning, growth, and opportunity, not political agendas. I will focus on what truly matters—supporting teachers, providing schools with the resources they need, and ensuring a high-quality education that prepares every student for the future. Our schools should be a place where all students feel supported and are given the tools to succeed.
An elected official should be honest, accountable, transparent, and truly committed to serving their community. These values are what I believe in and what I’ve practiced during my military service. Integrity is simply doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. As an elected official, I’ll always act in the best interest of the community, not for personal or political gain. Accountability is taking responsibility for their decisions. Understanding that it is ok to shift if something isn’t working. I will always be open to feedback and make sure I am working for the community I represent. People deserve to know what’s happening in their schools and why decisions are being made. I’ll keep the community informed, encourage open dialogue, and ensure decisions are made WITH, not for, the people. At the end of the day, elected officials must honor service, leadership, and putting the community first. That’s exactly what I plan to do.
I am extremely passionate about education policy and community engagement. Every child deserves access to a high-quality education in a positive and productive learning environment. Achieving this requires collaboration, creative solutioning, and most importantly community engagement. With a 24-year career in military service, I believe in public service and understand that school board directors are charged with representing the community they serve. Only through consistent engagement, accessibility, and accountability can the school board truly “serve.” I will work tirelessly to ensure that our community is heard and will serve as their voice when these important decisions are being made.
While it wasn't my first job, there has been no greater honor than to serve the American people for 24 years in the United States Coast Guard. During my career I had the privilege of serving on the East Coast, the West Coast and abroad. While military service came with many stressors on my family, we accepted those stressors in public service. I saved thousands of lives during my career and there is no greater feeling than to positively affect another human being's life. I am forever grateful for my military career and it has shaped me into the person I am today. I have spent hundreds of days at sea, and that isolation led to some very powerful bonds with a diverse group of people. Through all of our differences we were serving our country and worked as a team to successfully execute our mission: save the lives of people from all over the world. A school board is no different. We must work together regardless of differences to execute our mission: Provide the highest quality education to our students while consistently engaging with the community!
