After serving over twenty years in the U.S. Army, I consider it a privilege as well as an honor to continue serving this great country through the betterment of our children. I support the vision of 100% graduation and leaving no Child behind. I will give maximum effort in motivating our young people to become better Citizens. Education is and will remain the focal point to ensure state, county, and school objectives are obtained. I look forward to working with everyone involved in this mutual endeavor.
