When my wife, Kris, and I began to search for our house, education and the school district were what led us to become part of the Ken-Ton Community. Kris is a life-long resident and proud graduate of Kenmore East. Our children Jeffrey, Jennifer and Daniel are all graduates of Kenmore East. The education they received from the Ken-Ton District gave them the opportunity to become college graduates now employed in promising career paths. The opportunity of a solid education for children is the best gift for their future.

I am a graduate of Frontier Central and the University at Buffalo. I have served on the Ken-Ton Board of Education for three years and Board Vice President for this past year. This service provides endless possibilities for our children, some of which are listed below.

• Improved school safety by establishing single point of entries for our schools and use of the OpenGate system during the school day and for extra-curricular activities.
• Increased pathways for graduation: Crossroads Academy and Individual Arts Assessment Pathway (IAPP).
• Kenmore Junior/Senior High School once again has a BEDS Code making the school aide eligible for future capital expenditure projects.
• Capital projects have added classrooms to meet current enrollment trends which help improve our academic programs and extra-curricular activities including Music, Art and Athletics.

My passion for providing a student first approach for the Ken-Ton School District and the community is what drives my decision to seek re-election to a seat on the Board of Education. The obstacles the Ken-Ton District faces require creative ways to keep Ken-Ton as the premier school district in a competitive world. It would be a privilege to continue to serve the students and the Ken-Ton community to share our rich history with fiscal responsibility and commitment to our schools.
