Trying to make a living and doing the best I can - the Allman Brothers Band, 1973

I have been involved with Harrison School District Two since my son, Steven, entered Kindergarten at Turman Elementary in 2002. I have a tendency to volunteer for things. What started out as involvement in Turman's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has evolved over time into me serving on the School Board.

2003-2011 Soaring Eagles Elementary School PTO
2004-2008 Harrison Advisory Council - Colorado Preschool/Kindergarten Program (CPKP)
2004-2007 Community Partnership for Child Development (CPCD) Policy Council
2005-Present District Advisory Accountability Committee (DAAC)
2006-Present Superintendent's Community Advisory Panel
2007 Community Leadership Academy
2007-Present Director, Harrison School Board
2007-Present Attended multiple CASB and NSBA conferences
In addition to my direct involvment with the District over the years I also bring a particular perspective to the Board that, I feel, serves the community well.
  • I have two children who attend school in the District, giving me a daily perspective on life as a student.
  • In my day job, I am a partner in a small business and I oversee the creation, development and maintenance of databases. This gives me a unique perspective on the Board when dealing with data.
  • My brother and I were raised by a single mother and participated in the National School Lunch Program, like many of the students in our District.
