Why are you running for office?

Frisco ISD gave my family so much, and I want to give back. I’m running to restore transparency, rebuild trust with families, and ensure every budget dollar reaches classrooms. Frisco deserves a board that listens, communicates openly, and makes decisions our community can see and understand.

Every child deserves a quality public education that opens doors and builds lasting success. Our neighborhood schools face real challenges—funding gaps, teacher retention, and vouchers that threaten enrollment. I will work to keep families engaged, spend resources wisely, and continue strengthening our schools for the future.

I’m running to ensure FISD continues to be a high performing school district in the future. As the most experienced leader and mentor in this race, I understand our district’s unique strengths and challenges. I’m committed to collaborative, transparent leadership to keep FISD moving forward for every student and educator.

What are the biggest challenges facing Frisco ISD?

Declining enrollment is our most pressing challenge— families are choosing alternatives, and the district must understand why and respond honestly. Budget transparency and fiscal discipline are equally urgent as enrollment shrinks. Rebuilding parent trust through open communication will determine whether Frisco ISD retains its standing as the district of choice.

Frisco ISD is facing real financial pressure—rising costs, stagnant state funding, and declining enrollment are creating tough choices. We need to act with urgency while staying focused on both fiscal responsibility and protecting the quality of our schools. I’m committed to doing exactly that.

The biggest challenges facing FISD are 1) declining enrollment 2) projected budget deficits 3) teacher attrition and retention challenges and 4) an expanding special education student base. My corporate leadership and extensive FISD experience provide the steady, executive maturity needed to guide our young board through these critical challenges.

How do you plan to address these issues?

I will push for public budget and enrollment dashboards any resident can access, a formal process ensuring parent concerns receive real responses, and honest reporting on what’s working and what isn’t. Transparency isn’t just good governance; it’s the only way to rebuild confidence and keep families choosing Frisco ISD.

Locally, we need a community-wide approach to address declining enrollment, spend wisely, meet our financial obligations, and continue improving student outcomes. At the same time, we need strong partnerships with the state to advocate for better per-student funding, competitive teacher pay, and meaningful property tax relief to support long-term stability.

I will implement long-term planning to 1) Explore innovative revenue streams to offset declining enrollment 2) Advocate for additional state funding in areas like special education, safety and transportation 3) Retain educators through competitive compensation and professional support 4) Optimize resources to ensure special education programs remain sustainable and effective.
