Leadership, not Politics
I am a husband, father, Entrepeneur, and for the last 4 years I have been your representative on the Western Placer Unified School District Board of Trustees. I am NOT a politician.
I am asking for your support again as I run for a second term. I am proud of the work we have done, and we have more work to do.
During COVID we got our kids safely back in the classroom months before other districts
We respected the rights of our staff that chose not to receive the COVID vaccine and provided testing
We authorized more raises for our staff unseen for more than 15 years
We invested more money in safety than ever before including the addition of a third Student Resource Officer
We supported the formation of a Student Senate
My Platform
Safety & Engagement
I believe the young people learn when they feel safe and a part of a community. Once we feel like we belong we can challenge our boundaries. I will ensure that Western Placer Unified remains a place where every student can feel safe and find their place.
Young People that are Anti-Fragile
Learning to fail is a critical part of becoming a healthy and successful adult. I challenge our staff and administrators to give our kids real problems to solve. Let them work things out, fail and try again. Growing from adversity turns kids into Anti-Fragile adults.
Career and/or College Ready
I left high school and went straight to EMT school. I turned that Community College certificate into a career as a Paramedic. College is not the only path to a phenomenal life. I chair our Career Technical Education program and champion the trades because it made me who I am.

I am an Independent. Most of the time I lean conservative, especially in fiscal matters.
Being an independent has allowed me to connect with some of our left-leaning union heads while still connecting with conservative voters.I find that it keeps conversations flowing and allows us to focus on the main thing, doing right by kids and families.

I care about the system that we trust our kids to. I want the best for kids, families and staff.
I advocate for young people and I want to see the best for them. I encourage them to serve and I have high expectations as well.
