I graduated from Eastern Washington University with a BS in Computer Science and currently serve as the Information Systems Director for the City of McMinnville, where I have been employed since 2006. I have a strong background in civic leadership and public organizations that reflects that value I place on building strong communities for the greater good of the people who call those communities their home. I have lived in the Sheridan area for the last 15 years, along with my wife and two sons. I believe Public Education is the one of the most important common experiences that a majority of adults share with each other. Every student in the Sheridan School District has the potential for high achievement and as a member of the Sheridan School Board I strive to help sustain and advance the environment that allows them to reach that potential.
