Why did you want to serve as a board member?
Being a graduate of Bellevue High school, I have experienced the positive impact that strong role models and caring teachers can have on a student’s life. Having those interactions lead me to serve and give back.

Other Activities: (hobbies, club, organizations)
I enjoy spending time with my wife, Carie, and our 3 children, Carter, Jax and Finley. My kids are involved in athletics and I enjoy supporting them and attending their events. I have served on the Bellevue Rec Board for 12 years and have been a coach for various teams in Bellevue.

Favorite part of serving on the Board:
I’m excited to attend graduation and watch students get ready to take that next step in their lives.
