I had the privilege of representing our neighborhoods on the Burlington City Council for eight years, where I built a record of pragmatic, common-sense leadership focused on finding real solutions for our community.Professionally, I have dedicated my career to education and public service. I spent 13 years with the Burlington School District as both an educator and administrator. For the past five years, I work Building Bright Futures to strengthen Vermont’s early childhood system and improve the system of care for children and families across the stateMy greatest accomplishment, however, is being a husband and father, raising our two daughters, ages 18 and 12, in the New North End of Burlington.

I am ready to bring my experience in local government, health care, education, international development, and community leadership to Montpelier to help us address Vermont’s most pressing challenges—making our state more affordable, strengthening our health care system, and improving education for every child.
