As a longtime resident of Newberg, my wife of 26 years and I raised our 4 children here where they all attended Newberg schools. As a small business owner, I see how important it is to ensure a ready workforce by preparing our youth for promising futures.

Students who are encouraged to excel academically while exploring various trades make for well-rounded adults with the skills, training and background needed for success. I look forward to working with parents and teachers to make sure Newberg schools offer the best opportunities for our children.

Platform:

  • Academic and Vocational Opportunities

  • Education Fundamentals including:

    • US Constitution, government, and civics

    • Financial literacy

    • Character, work ethic, accountability
