Age: 41
Address: N801 County Road S, Juda
Family: My wife Jody and I have been married for almost 11 years. We have two children; Emily is 9 and Aaron is 8.
Education: I graduated from Argyle High School in 1988 and have an associate's degree in business management and accounting.
Occupation: I work as a Credit Risk Consultant at DM Services Inc. in Monroe. I have worked there since 2001. I have worked previously at Monroe Truck Equipment and Avonmore Cheese, both in Monroe.
Previous elected positions held: This is my first time running for an elected position.
Community involvement: I am a trustee and the financial secretary for Union United Methodist Church in rural Juda, and I'm also involved in the mentoring program for our current confirmation students. I currently hold an advisory position on the Juda School District's budget committee. I've previously been involved with boards for The United Way and Green County Relay for Life.
What are the top issues facing this board/council and how would you resolve them?
The main issue facing our board is the same issue most school districts are currently facing, and that's the changing nature of how we fund our public schools and the challenge to continue providing an excellent education with fewer resources. I think the board has done a good job of keeping spending in line over the years, and it must continue to make sound financial decisions while continuing to provide our kids with the tools they will need to be successful after their high school years. I believe I can put almost 20 years of work experience in various industries, much of that time spent analyzing financial data, to good use for the improvement of our district and to make sure we're using our financial resources wisely. I strongly value the benefits that the small school experience provides to our students, and will work hard to make sure our next generation will continue to have that opportunity.
