A Parent, a Partner in Education, and an Engineer

As a software engineer with 20 years of experience, a father of a student in the New Haven Unified School District, and the husband of a teacher in NHUSD, I see our schools through the eyes of both a parent and a partner in education.

I'm running for School Board Trustee because every child deserves classrooms that prepare them for a changing world—and every teacher deserves the support to make that possible. I will listen to parents, teachers, and community members, work hard, and stay focused on the students and families who count on our schools.

  • Practical Technology in Every Classroom

    AI, robotics, and digital tools are no longer optional; they are essential. Bring practical technology into our schools so students gain the skills they need—guided by someone who understands what actually works and how to introduce it into the classroom.

  • Support and Train Our Teachers

    New tools only help if teachers are set up to use them. Invest in training, time, and resources so every educator has what they need to do their best work.

  • Raise Academic Standards and School Ratings

    Support strong instruction, clear accountability, and continuous improvement so achievement and school ratings rise across the district.

  • Prepare Students for What Comes Next

    Every child deserves classrooms that prepare them for a changing world—with the skills employers, colleges, and trades will actually be looking for.

  • Listen to Parents, Teachers, and Community

    Stay focused on the students and families who count on our schools. Listen first, work hard, and keep decisions transparent and accountable to the people they affect.
