My family has been part of CFBISD for decades. My kid went through these schools. My wife spent 30 years serving this district as a teacher, an administrator, and most recently as principal at Newman Smith High School. I’ve seen this district from the inside, through her eyes and at our kitchen table, for a very long time.
I’m running because I believe this district deserves board members who bring professional rigor to the decisions that affect our kids, our teachers, and our taxpayers. I’ve spent 30 years leading organizations through complex challenges. Managing budgets, driving accountability, and making sure the people doing the work have the support they need to succeed.
What concerns me most right now isn’t any single decision the board has made. It’s whether our community trusts the process. When parents feel blindsided, when teachers feel unsupported, when taxpayers can’t get straight answers about how their money is being spent… that’s a governance problem. And governance is exactly what a school board is supposed to provide.
I’m not running against anyone. I’m running because I believe I can help this district make better decisions, more transparently, with real accountability. I want the people on our campuses to get the support they need to do what they do best: educate our kids.
A deficit doesn't happen overnight, and it won't be solved behind closed doors. I'll push for financial reporting every taxpayer can understand, rigorous oversight of bond and operating dollars, and budget decisions made in the open. I've managed multimillion-dollar P&Ls for 25 years. I know what accountability looks like, and I'll bring that standard to this board.
Our teachers, counselors, and staff are closest to our students — and they deserve a board that works for them, not the other way around. I'll fight for competitive compensation, less administrative burden, and a culture where campus-level voices are heard before decisions are made, not after. When our educators feel supported, our students thrive.
Families have felt blindsided by major decisions. Trust isn't rebuilt with words — it's rebuilt through proactive communication, meaningful community input before votes are taken, and a board that holds itself to the same standard it expects from everyone else. Transparency isn't a buzzword. It's a discipline.
Every policy and every budget line should answer one question: does this improve outcomes for students? That means investing in programs that work, using data instead of politics to guide decisions, and ensuring every campus in our district, regardless of zip code, has the resources to deliver an excellent education. Our kids deserve a board that measures success by results, not intentions.
Voters approved a $716 million bond because they believe in this district's future. That trust must be honored. That means that bond projects are delivered on time, on budget, and with full transparency. With declining enrollment, aging facilities, and limited state funding, every dollar matters. I'll make sure resources reach the classrooms where they make the biggest difference.
Have questions or suggestions? I would love to hear from you!
