Information Technology and Real Estate Entrepreneur
Why are you running for office?
As a 13-year resident and former Vandeventer crossing guard, I’ve practiced servant leadership daily. I’ll apply entrepreneurial discipline to prioritize academic rigor and safety. By elevating educators, honoring parental rights, and respecting taxpayers, I will ensure FISD delivers excellence and remains the ultimate equalizer for every child and resident.
What are the biggest challenges facing the district?
The "Sustainability" Budget Gap, The Enrollment Cliff, Teacher Retention & Burnout, Grading & Academic Rigor, Special Education (SPED) Funding Shifts
How do you plan to address these issues?
I’ll bring principled oversight to FISD, advocating for a 15-year strategic vision and Zero-Based Budgeting to eliminate waste. I’ll reverse teacher turnover through 'stay interviews' and competitive pay. By prioritizing campus safety, protecting SPED resources, and ensuring uniform, traditional grading district-wide, I’ll equip every student for life beyond graduation.
What would your top priorities be if you are elected?
Achieving a balanced budget every year without compromising quality. Implementing a long-term facilities and enrollment master plan. Strengthening policies to recruit and retain elite teaching talent. Standardizing curriculum and grading to ensure academic excellence across all campuses. Enhancing safety protocols and promoting positive student behavior
