Why Are You Seeking Office?

I am seeking re-election to continue to serve the interests of the taxpayers and students of the Lincoln Way community.  I am very grateful for the benefits that this community has given to me, and it is my hope that I can contribute and give back through my service.

What will be your single most important priority if you get elected?

Continue to ensure that the taxpayers and students are given the most for every dollar invested in our schools.

What sets you apart from the other candidates?

As a Taxpayer, Father, L-W graduate, 30 year resident, and Technology Professional, I know first hand what makes Lincoln Way great, and how we can continue to do better.

How do you envision the transition from Supt. Lawrence Wyllie to Supt. Scott Tingley?

I envision it as an exciting time for Lincoln Way, while we have had many successes in the past it is a perfect opportunity for us to do more.  As a district we can never rely on our past successes, but we can alway strive for the next accomplishment.  Dr. Tingley is the person that will help lead us to that next level.

What's the biggest challenge facing LWHS D210?

To do more with less.

Is technology important for the future success of LWHS D210 students?

Yes!  Technology is the tool that our educators need to help our students strive, and help contain costs for our citizens.
