Fun Fact
I'm a member of Neshanic Reformed Church here in Hillsborough, and a deeply religious man. I would not lie, cheat, steal, or commit any other such sin as a Board Member, and I believe in the equal, just, and compassionate treatment of all God's children.
Past Experience
I've lived in Hillsborough for as long as I can remember. As a class of 2025 graduate, I've experienced all of what of what our school system has to offer, but I've also seen where we can improve. Furthermore, I'm currently an education major at Raritan Valley Community College, studying to one day be a high school history teacher. The incredible insight this course of study would bring to the Board should go without saying. I've also worked on countless service projects in Hillsborough with my Boy Scout Troop, such as volunteering at Brookdale Senior Living, and conducting my Eagle Project of building the Flagtown Firehouse's new sign. Before being the Senior Patrol Leader, I was the even the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader of Service and managed all of our service projects for a full year in 2022.
My Top Issues
Enhancing transparency and accountability
We need more administrative transparency, as evidenced by the AP French incident from last year, that cannot be repeated.
Enhancing community policing
We cannot deny the increase in physical altercations in the past year few school years, and we must address it by preventing fights before they happen.
Promoting efficiency and accountability in government spending
I vehemently oppose the recent property tax increase, and we must take measures to save money instead of blindly accommodating bloated spending.
