As a parent, business leader, and community member, I believe our schools should reflect strong values, responsible leadership, and a commitment to every student’s success.

My leadership is grounded in Christian values, serving others, acting with integrity, and doing what is right for our community. By supporting and equipping teachers with the resources they need, we create an environment where every child can reach their full potential.

I also believe in fiscal responsibility. Our district must prioritize needs over wants, ensuring resources go where they matter most: classrooms, teachers and students.

Common-sense leadership, combined with hard work and consistency, will guide my decisions. By staying focused and working together, we can give our teachers the support they need and continue strengthening our schools.

Our community deserves a district that reflects its values while preparing children for a successful future. I would be honored to continue serving alongside educators, parents, and community members to make that vision a reality.

I am Vice President of Gahr Truck & Equipment Inc. and Chairman of the Board at First Church of God in Saint James. Faith, service and community involvement guide my life.

My wife, Shannan, and I are raising four children—Tessa, Paxton, Thatcher and Lorelei. As a father with children in our schools, I care deeply about the education and opportunities available to every student.

My goal is simple: bring common sense, strong values, and responsible leadership to support teachers, invest in students and build a stronger future for our school district.
