Office Sought: Board of Education
Previous Office Sought: I was appointed to the Board of Education to fill a vacancy earlier this year.
Candidate Statement:
I know I can add value to the school board for the following three reasons:
1. I have passion – fueled by my love and commitment to my daughter and all the students of the Strongsville School System – to not only extend the current streak of 10 straight Excellent ratings, but to reach Excellent with Distinction.
2. I have the tenacity to see my plan through. I am an old college wrestler who does not back down, and never gives up. I think this is evidenced by my spirited participation on the board since my recent appointment.
3. Finally, passion and tenacity won’t take you far without the technical skills and experience necessary to do the job. I have been a CPA for 27 years. Most of my career has been spent successfully restructuring financially distressed companies.
