I was born and raised in the New York Tri-state area. I went to engineering school in western New York, then because Silicon Valley is the "If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere" place for engineers, relocated to the Golden State. I worked for a legendary Silicon Valley software company, then started my own consulting firm. I got married and had two beautiful boys. I was living the American Dream, California style. I made it.
By the time my oldest son entered Kindergarten at the neighborhood school just down the street, California public education was in a deep decline from its golden era. It seemed like every week a new flyer came home for a new fundraising activity. On Fridays they actually held bake sales to raise money. So I got involved and eventually ran for the school board. I'm now completing my term on the Cambrian School District Governing Board and when I heard that Pam Parker decided to retire from the CUHSD board I saw an important need to bring governance expertise to fill the void her departure brings.
What you can expect from me as a Governing Board Member is an independent voice that always puts the best interests of our children first. You can expect a Governing Board Member who will reach out to the whole community and seek input before important decisions are made. Finally, you can expect a Governing Board Member who is ready to govern on day one.
