Leadership, not Politics

I am a husband, father, and entrepreneur, and I serve as your representative on the Western Placer Unified School District Board of Trustees. I am NOT a politician.

I am proud of the work we have done together, 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 staff who chose not to receive the COVID vaccine and provided testing.
  • We authorized raises for our staff unseen in more than 15 years.
  • We invested more 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 young people learn when they feel safe and 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.

FAQ

What is your political affiliation?

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-leaning families. I find that it keeps conversations flowing and allows us to focus on the main thing: doing right by kids and families.

What does a school board member do?
  • We are responsible for hiring and managing the Superintendent.
  • We set the overall vision for the district and we are accountable for the results.
  • We review and approve the budget.
  • We review and approve all discipline cases for staff and students, and we authorize legal expenditures.
