Like many of you, I moved here 19 years ago because of the fine reputation of the Friendswood schools. As most of you know, I am an incumbent and have served as your representative on the FISD Board of Trustees for the past 9 years. My original reason for seeking a position on the Board was to shape the direction of our instructional programs away from the unproven fads of the day to programs that were time-tested, proven and data driven.

Things are very different today. We have an outstanding, high-performing and efficient District. I believe I relate to the expectations of the mainstream citizenry of Friendswood. If re-elected, I will continue to provide valuable and constructive leadership, direction and encouragement to our Superintendent, Principals, and Administrators. My goal is to continue providing the citizens of Friendswood with a school district that is safe, frugal, efficient and high performing academically. I am experienced and proven but my job is not finished. I respectively solicit your vote on November 8.
