I am running again for the Board of Education. I am an experienced Board member since I have served on this board for 5 years. I have three daughters. Two reside in Prospect and the other one is serving our country. She is a Warrant Officer currently based in Alabama at Fort Rucker Army base, where she has been accepted into the aviation division to fly helicopters. I also have one beautiful granddaughter that is currently attending PES as a 4th grader. I live in Prospect with my significant other, granddaughter and our two dogs. One well behaved and the other…not so much. I work full time in Danbury for a successful paving company as their Director of Finance. I have an accounting background which comes in handy during Region 16 budget times. I enjoy cooking, decorating, reading, fantasy football, my front porch, and spending time with my family. My granddaughter also says I am very funny. I am blessed with good health and hope to continue serving my community. The time spent on this Board has been satisfying and educational. I hope to continue.
