1. Tell us about yourself.
I’ve been married to my wife Lorri for nearly 22 years. We moved to Chatfield 15 years ago from Colorado in search of a small-town environment and a better education system to raise our children in. I am a father of three children: Jason (20), Maggie (19), and Aaron (17). I am a heavy-equipment operator by trade of the Local 49.
2. Why are you running for Chatfield School Board?
I am running for the school board because I want to give back to the community that my children were raised in. I would like to help where I can in furthering the district and supporting the future of the next generation of students.
3. What do you feel are the most important issues facing Chatfield Schools?
The most important issues facing Chatfield schools are the management of expenditures, recreating and maintaining diverse education programs, and the financial status of the future of the school district.
4. What do you hope to accomplish if you are elected?
I hope to accomplish an established education program revolving around the trades with the intention that not every child is made for college. I am also striving to provide guidance and aid to the school district’s spending to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being spent sensibly.
