Some of these organizations are the Marines Corps League, American Legion, Porsche Club of America.”

What experience makes you qualified for this position?

“I have managed and run companies that have increased in productivity and earnings. My military (USMC) and technical experiences in which I am considered an expert in have taught me how to analyze and figure out proper decisions based on the data at hand.

I will also be proactive in making decisions to the consideration and needs of the children, the teachers and administrators.”
