Great turnout tonight at the Meet the Candidates Public Forum! Thank you to the Billings CTA and PTA for sponsoring.
For those who were unable to attend, I wanted to share a little about myself, my family and why I am passionate about running for a seat on the school board.
I have been married to my wife, Jennifer, for almost 20 years. We have 2 boys, Nolan (16) and Eli (12), who attend school at Billings.
I began my career with the Springfield-Greene County Park Board in 2001. Over the past 24 years with the Park Board, I have held several different positions that include Assistant Golf Superintendent, Chief Park Ranger, and my current position as Superintendent of Special Facilities. These positions have equipped me with the skills essential for leadership on the school board. I currently oversee a 2.5 million dollar operating budget with 20 full-time staff assigned to the Special Facility Division.
I believe success comes from hard work and prioritizing what truly matters. I advocate for practical, common sense solutions that address problems directly. My top priorities for our district are:
- Ensuring a safe and healthy learning environment for our children
- Open communication
- Continuing efforts to increase APR scores
- Transparent delegation of school district funds
I am asking for your support in making a positive impact in our school and our children's education. Together, we can work toward a future where every student thrives.
