"A Man for the People"

Working together for safe, supportive schools where every student has the opportunity to thrive.

Why I'm Running

I've decided to run for Twin Rivers Unified School District Trustee for Area 6 after encouragement from many parents, school administrators, and local community leaders who believe our district is ready for strong, thoughtful leadership.

Our students deserve schools that are safe, supportive, and focused on preparing them for success. Families deserve to feel heard, valued, and included in the decisions that shape their children's education.

I am stepping forward because I believe our district can move in a positive direction by working together with parents, educators, and the community to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.

I look forward to listening, learning, and earning the support of the community in the months ahead.
