Interviews

"Our school district deserves board members who love public education and the students it serves. We deserve board members who love educators and respect the work and professionalism they display every day in the classroom. Bloomington public schools have provided so much for us, it is time to give back."

"Bloomington believed in me as a young student and gave me the courage to help others up the ladder, rather than pull it up behind me. Bloomington is where I first found my voice, and if you join me I know we can do great things together."

"I live in Bloomington with my wife, Jennifer, along with our three cats and three chickens. In my free time, I enjoy cross-country skiing at Hyland Hills, hockey, hiking, and gardening—all things that make Bloomington such a special place to live!"

"I have been advocating for children all of my adult life, serving on committees and in leadership positions at both the local and state levels. It has been my honor to serve on the Bloomington School Board. Thank you for allowing me to serve our community. I want to continue putting my experience and passion to work for the students of this community. "

"I feel our schools must keep pace with a rapidly advancing world to ensure our graduates possess the skills necessary for success in college or a career. To achieve this, we need to expose children to experiences beyond traditional academics through enriching activities including Computer Science, Vocational and Technical Education, the Arts, Music, and Sports."

"I stay actively involved in Bloomington’s arts community, serving as an assistant director for Kennedy’s show choir program and as the business manager for the school musical, as well as a board member for Artistry MN. The performing arts played a huge role in my own education, and I’m grateful for the chance to give back in this way."
