Frederick 4 School Board

Why Vote for me?

  • I believe in equal access for all students and that every student who enters a Saline School building should feel safe, loved, and able to achieve their highest potential.

  • Schools need to be SAFE. That means physically, emotionally, and psychologically safe for ALL. No student should ever be ashamed of who they are. No student should ever be placed in a situation that harms them.

  • I am a tenacious and passionate advocate for students, teachers and parents educational rights and responsibilities. I believe that teachers and schools partner with parents in the education of their children, and should always be transparent and act in accord with parental prerogatives.

  • I am proud, and grateful, to be a member of the Saline community, of the great state of Michigan, and of the incredible United States of America, "One nation, Under God, with liberty and justice, for ALL!"

  • I am not afraid to ask the difficult questions, and I will not stop working until I find answers to those questions that serve the people I represent.

  • I believe that schools should be free from political activism intended to indoctrinate or proselytize to any political ideology. Just stick to academics, vocational skills, social skills, and fun.

  • I am a life-long learner and an educational innovator with vast experience in virtual and brick and mortar classrooms. I understand educational pedagogy and classroom dynamics like few others do.

  • I have served the Saline community for over 25 years as a high school Teacher, Coach, Coordinator of Youth Ministries, and Volunteer. I am the father of seven children in the school district. My decades long career as a teacher in the SAS district gives me insights and experience that no other candidate has.
