Deep Roots in Chesapeake

I have called Chesapeake home for more than 30 years, and my wife and I are proud to raise our four children here.

As a father with children in Chesapeake Public Schools, the decisions made by the School Board are personal to me. I serve because every child deserves a safe school, an excellent education, and the opportunity to build a successful future.

I remain committed to listening to families, supporting teachers, protecting taxpayers, and making decisions that put students first.

Experienced Leadership. A Record of Service.

Since being elected to the Chesapeake School Board in 2022, I have worked to provide thoughtful, principled leadership and ensure our schools remain focused on students.

I have consistently advocated for safer schools, strong academics, competitive teacher compensation, expanded career and technical education, parental involvement, transparency, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

Serving Chesapeake is a privilege. I will continue asking the tough questions, listening to our community, and working to deliver meaningful results for students, families, teachers, and taxpayers.

There is an American flag, yellow flowers, and flyers on a table in the background.

The Work Continues

Chesapeake Public Schools face important decisions about student safety, academic achievement, teacher recruitment and retention, school facilities, and responsible use of taxpayer dollars.

I am running for re-election to continue providing experienced, principled leadership on the School Board. I will keep asking the tough questions, listening to our community, and working to ensure every decision keeps Chesapeake’s students and families at the center.

I would be honored to earn your support and continue serving Chesapeake for another four years.
