Education is my ‘true north’.  I earned my Bachelor's degree in K-12 Health Education and my Master’s degree in College Administration. I continue to teach locally as an adjunct faculty member at Dominican University in San Rafael and lead an educational consulting business helping high school students navigate the college application and selection process.

I am fortunate to have a wonderful & supportive family as well. Carrie, my wife, has been active on the YES! Board. My two daughters attend Brookside Elementary (5th and 2nd grade) where I volunteer frequently in the classroom and yard duty - every school needs more volunteers ;-). I am also an active coach with San Anselmo Rec for soccer & basketball. You’ll see me at the Redhill fields every weekend this fall!

For the past year and a half, I have had the privilege of serving as an appointed Trustee for the Ross Valley School District.  It has been a rewarding, yet challenging experience, and I continue to learn new things about the district, our community, and our students every month.  Knowing the district is facing declining enrollments and increased costs, the next four years will require the board to listen to our community and act decisively when needed.  When facing challenging discussions and decisions, I will continue to put current and future students, as well as current and future teachers, at the forefront of my decision-making process. 

I look forward to the opportunity to serve our amazing Ross Valley community for the next four years.  Thank you for your consideration.
