about me

I am a proud Rocky River graduate (Class of 2002) and dedicated community advocate. After high school, I volunteered to serve in the United States Air Force, where I spent 20 years leading in diverse roles across multiple states and countries. During my service, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Management. In my commitment to lifelong learning, I am currently pursuing my Master's in Labor Relations and Human Resources at Cleveland State University.

Guided by the core values of integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do, I bring a proven record of leadership, fiscal responsibility, and collaboration. My experience in continuous process improvement, policy development, budgeting, auditing, and safety oversight will help me serve effectively on the Rocky River Board of Education.

As a husband to an educator and father of two young daughters in the district, I am deeply invested in the success of Rocky River's schools. Having lived and worked in communities across the nation, I bring a broad perspective on best practices and a strong belief in open, transparent communication between the Board, administration, and community. My vision is clear: a school district where all students receive the best possible education, supported by fairness, accountability, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources. 

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and dogs, working on old cars, riding my motorcycle, watching my girls Irish Step Dance, and recently started to learn acoustic guitar.
