ABOUT ME
My wife Lolita and I have been Ladue Schools parents since 2006. Our children, Caleb and Kristin, are Ladue graduates now both working in education. Over the past 20 years, I’ve volunteered across Ladue schools. I have served on the Ladue Board of Education since 2023 and currently serve on the Student & Community Services and Diversity committees. Previously, I served on the Facilities Board Advisory Committee and the Ladue Education Foundation.
For nearly three decades, I have been an educator in the St. Louis region, including serving in Ladue Schools and as an administrator for the Special School District. Equity and social justice advocacy have been central to my work, including facilitating adult equity learning through The Equity Exchange Institute.
Ladue Schools continue to lead in educational excellence, serving a diverse community across 10 municipalities. As a current member of the Ladue Board of Education, I remain committed to sustaining that strength through thoughtful governance, transparent decision-making, and student-centered priorities.
In my continued service on the Board, I strive to bring a calm, focused, and experienced lens to stewarding Ladue’s exceptional schools.
I am grateful for the opportunity to continue working with our community to support Ladue students and families.
