Reason for Serving: With two children at Central Manor Elementary, I am delighted to be on the Penn Manor school board. I’m proud of Penn Manor’s history and the incredible academic strides we’ve made in recent decades. When I think of those who came before me (my father, grandfather and great great grandfather — all PM school board directors), I am humbled and clear-eyed that I won’t be on the board forever. I want to make my time count by doing my part to keep Penn Manor great.

Reason for Serving: During my tenure on the board, I have had the pleasure of seeing Penn Manor attain accomplishments in both academic and co-curricular arenas of which the entire community can be proud. These include not only state but national and international competitions and awards. I have the privilege of forwarding these accomplishments to my three adult children who continue to be proud of their alma mater. I will remain diligent in helping to steer the district in a direction that works to produce graduates, regardless of their areas of interest, who are well-prepared to be contributing members of a rapidly changing workforce, with integrity and a solid work ethic.
