Why you love being a Chieftain: I love being a Chieftain because I enjoy the blue collar feel of our community. I love that we still have some grit in this community. I love how our community continues to support our school system. Several schools struggle to pass levies and ours continues to invest in our children's future.

Classroom motto or quote to live by: “Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” - Francis Chan

What you love doing outside of school: I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, coaching tennis, and playing pickleball.
