Personal

I am married to my wife Barb. We have four children, and have been living in Olivet since July 2000.

Why I want to be on the School Board

I want to be on the school board mainly to do whatever I can to keep this well oiled machine, known as “The Olivet Schools” going in the right direction. Children are our most important assets and a good education gives them a great start in life to become model citizens and contributors in society.

Why am I proud of our school system

As I read the local papers and they announce the number of students that have achieved honor roll status... it makes me proud to know that with the hard work and dedication of our students, administration, teachers, support staff and parents, these accomplishments have been achieved. I am also proud of our community for the support that they show with not only the academics, but the sports and arts as well.
