I am applying for the job of Trustee on the Leander ISD school board. And just like any job, you (as the employer) have a right to ask about my background and the experience that qualifies me to work for you.

• Married for 11 years to a wonderful woman
• 2 Children - a son age 6 and a daughter age 3
• Multi-year volunteer with various projects in Leander ISD
• Participated in E3 community discussion for Leander ISD
• Constant attendee at school board meetings
• Attended the Texas Public Policy Foundation primer on incentive pay
• Member and active participant in several student advocacy organizations
• Lived in LISD for 10 years and in central Texas for 24
• Active at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
• Regular blood donor with Central Texas Blood & Tissue Center
• Worked in the computer industry for 13 years for large and small companies
• Long time NRA member
• Ultra-marathon runner and cyclist

Another thing that I strive to remember is that this is a servant position - as in I serve you, the parents and taxpayers of the district. A good servant leader, especially in public office, is something that every citizen deserves and should demand. With that as my guiding principle, I pledge the following:

• I will respond to every question asked of me
• I will treat all money as if it were my own and spend it wisely
• I will ensure all students are challenged and equipped
• I will be open with decisions and documents
• I will encourage feedback
• I will be open to all solutions for improvement
• I will ensure that all employees are reachable
