Age: 49
Address: 9542 S. Prairie Road, Gratiot
Family: Wife of 20 years Jennifer; children Anna, Beau, Ben, Delaney and Drew
Education: Bachelor of science in Ag-Economics from University of Wisconsin-River Falls
Occupation: Own and operate 220-cow dairy farm
Previous elected positions held: Black Hawk School Board two three-year terms
Community involvement: Black Hawk Parents Club, Black Hawk Booster Club
What are the top issues facing this board/council and how would you resolve them?
Maintaining a top level education with less funding from the state. I believe the education of our children should not be sacrificed just because we live in rural Lafayette County. We need to work with neighboring districts to possibly share staff or form education co-ops. We also should pursue online courses to expand our curriculum.
