Strong Leadership. Academic Excellence. To the Top.

In the Army, I served with the 10th Mountain Division, deploying to both Iraq and Afghanistan. The leadership lessons I learned during those years have shaped who I am today—and I wouldn’t be running for this office without them.

Within our division, we had a powerful tradition: enlisted soldiers would greet officers with “Climb to Glory,” and officers would respond, “To the Top,” as we exchanged salutes. That motto—“To the Top”—guided us through challenging missions and tough terrain. And it guides me still.

I believe in preparing every student with the tools they need to reach their highest academic potential. Together, we can lead them—To the Top.

My vision is for Spotsylvania County Public Schools to become a model of academic excellence—one that others across our region and beyond look to for inspiration and best practices. I know that meaningful change takes time, collaboration, and a thoughtful approach. With my leadership, experience, and commitment, I believe we can make progress. I’m not just focused on setting high standards—I’m dedicated to listening to our community and making sure we see real results. If elected, I will lead with a clear purpose and accountability because our students deserve nothing less.
