Why I Am Running

I am running for Flagler County School Board District 4 because our children deserve better than the dysfunction and division that has taken hold on the board in recent years.

I am a lifelong resident of Flagler County, a proud graduate of Flagler Palm Coast High School, a small business owner, and—most importantly—a father raising three children who have attended our local public schools. After serving 13 years on the School Board, where I worked hard to improve academic outcomes, maintain fiscal responsibility, and provide stability for our students, teachers, and taxpayers, I have watched with concern as the board has become increasingly divided and ineffective. A divided board cannot properly support our superintendent or our dedicated educators, and in the end, it is our children who suffer the consequences.

With one child already graduated, one currently in our schools, and another about to enter the system, I feel a deep personal responsibility to step forward. I want to bring experienced, steady, and results-driven leadership back to District 4—leadership that puts students first, demands accountability, and focuses on what truly matters: strong academics, school safety, responsible budgeting, and preparing our rapidly growing community for the future.

I am committed to restoring unity and collaboration on the School Board so we can move forward together and deliver the high-quality education that our families and our children deserve. That is why I am running, and I humbly ask for your support.
