Previous offices held or sought

Currently Serving as President of the Meadow Height School Board.

Seeking reelection for board member.

What makes you the most qualified candidate for this position?

I have served on the Meadow Height School board in multiple roles for the past 9 years. Currently Active in the Missouri School Board Association serving as member of Region 13 REC committee.

I currently manage the production operations of mid-size production facility. I also own and manage a small family farm and a pest control business.

I believe this experience, along with a common sense approach and Christian values make me a good candidate.

What do you see as the opportunities and challenges in the district?

I believe Meadow Heights has the opportunity to become one the best schools in the state and the nation. Our biggest challenge is to overcome our fears of change, we can not let that fear stop our progress because of what might happen or what we can't predict might happen.

What are your thoughts on a potential four-day school week?

I am in favor of exploring any potential change or ideas that will bring positive change, the board made the decision that a four day school week was not right for our school or the community at this time.

How will you communicate your work to your constituents?

I prefer one on one discussion.

What are the factors on which you will base your decisions as a school board member?

I currently base and will continue to base my any decision on what I believe is best all of our children. I will never just base decision on the people that yell the loudest or complain the most.
