Check out my bio on the Central Facebook page.
Why am I running?
I believe in the power of a high quality public education for every child in our district. I want to serve this community and have a positive impact on its future.
Becky and I have two girls just starting school. It is important to me to be a part of their journey through our public schools.
Our oldest will be attending Kindergarten at Central Elementary this fall and our youngest will be starting Central Public Preschool.
Being a new parent to the district with kids just getting started will give me a unique perspective on our schools.
Professional Experience
Senior Financial Analyst
As a Senior Financial Analyst I work with complex budgets that involve multiple revenue streams and sources of expenditure. I will be able to understand the district budget and sources of funding and make recommendations for its thoughtful use.
Engineering Manager
The empathy and understanding of people that I gained as an Engineering Manager will allow me to build relationships with parents, teachers, administration and other stakeholders in the district.
Project Manager
My experience managing projects, creating quotes from customer specifications, and negotiating contracts will allow me to support ongoing and future projects in the school district.
As a Project Manager I was responsible for the execution and financial performance of complex control system modernization and migration projects for customers in the refining, specialty chemical, power generation, and pharmaceutical industries.
Control System Engineer
At heart I am an engineer and problem solver. I can weigh both sides of an issue and make an informed decision based on facts.
As a Control Systems Engineer I designed, configured, and deployed control systems for customers in the specialty chemical, pulp and paper, and polymer industries.
