In your own words
These are incredibly special communities and I am both humbled and honored to serve in them. The opportunity to lead District 34 provides a unique chance to influence and impact the future of that system, in addition to, the one I am coming from in D117. I am extremely excited to get to work and believe we have the capacity to collectively do great things with, for, and on behalf of our amazing communities, people, families, students, and staff. This position brings with it an enormous amount of responsibility, but with it, too, comes enormous opportunities.

Favorite quote/inspirational message:
“Make it Matter” – that will mean something different to everyone, but I challenge myself to make moments, opportunities, interactions, relationships, and my personal and professional work matter, every day. The greatest example I have experienced is the unending support, love, and permission my wife and two daughters, Calla (10) and Bryn (8), give me to “Make It Matter” on behalf of other people’s kids in my work as an educator. 

Greatest lesson you’ve learned:
Relationships are the foundation of everything we do and leading with confident vulnerability has afforded me inroads to deep, genuine, and authentic relationships with those I serve.
