As the father of eight children, I understand the burden most parents feel to educate and equip their children for future success. I am myself a graduate of public schools and am grateful for the teachers and administrators who made a difference in my life.

I will support public education in our community to ensure the best outcomes for students and teachers in our Oklahoma public schools. As a former teacher and homeschool dad, I also understand that each child has a different learning style and different educational needs that sometimes need to be met with creativity and innovation. My goal is to empower parents to maximize their children’s potential success by giving parents access to the broadest range of tools and solutions to allow their children to thrive, regardless of race, income, or zip code.

I will promote the value of high school graduation and continuing education through vo-tech training or college, which have been proven to raise the standard of living for families and generations to come.
