About the Candidate
Advocate for Faith-Based Education I am family man, my wife and I recently had one child graduate from St. Joseph high, and two children currently in the Catholic School system, one in elementary and the other in middle school. I am a parishioner at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church. I have worked managing in a large organization, served on community boards and volunteered with local initiatives, fostering a spirit of compassion and community consistent with Catholic values.
Candidate Priorities
| Student Supports | Work to advocate for the funding to get class sizes down and the student supports and programs increased. Seek feedback to best understand what is needed from front line staff and parents. |

| Teacher Supports | Advocate for our teachers to have what the supports they need. Whether it is additional educational assistance, occupational/ speech therapist, to name a few or materials, as by supporting them we support our children. |
| Catholic School Buildings. | Work to identify and get the schools funded in areas of growth. Parents should not have to transport their children long distances to have Catholic education in areas of high population. Forecast the need before it becomes an issue. |
