| I’m a lifelong Forest Lake resident and a Forest Lake graduate. I’m a District Chief with the Forest Lake Fire Department, a husband to Alyssa, a dad of four, and a year-round youth sports coach. I also founded Heart Safe Forest Lake and serve as its lead instructor, teaching CPR and AED to students, staff, and neighbors. I’m running because our schools should be about kids. Students need a strong curriculum, real opportunities, and a safe place to learn. They should leave high school ready for college, the trades, the military, or a career. Parents should be partners, not afterthoughts. Staff should be supported. Politics and social battles should stay out of the classroom. I want patriotism in our schools again. I will work for common-sense leadership that puts achievement first, keeps the budget honest, and ends the stalemate on the board. That means clear standards, safe buildings, and decisions made for students and families, not special interests. That’s the work. That’s what I’ll do. |
