I enjoy working with people that want to make Fruitport Community Schools, in all aspects, the absolute BEST it can be! I am very proud to have served on the Fruitport Board of Education in many capacities since 2001.

I am excited to be involved with the Board of Education, as the Fruitport Community Schools are a wonderful asset to our community. I hope to be able to put my experience and education to use on behalf of our students and staff. Education is of paramount importance, and I’m looking forward to helping Fruitport Community Schools be the best it can be.

I was first elected to the Board of Education in 1988. My goal at that time was to give back to the community through my service as a board member. After a short period of time, I realized I could contribute to the fiscally soundness of Fruitport finances.  Fruitport currently has the lowest tax base in the county.  My educational background in accounting and business finances has helped provide some insight when tough financial decisions are at hand.

I have always had a passion for learning and I personally understand the equalizing value of a good education.  After moving to Fruitport in 2001, I have embraced the community and am proud to call it home.  I truly believe our town and our schools are on the verge of greatness and will be a destination district in the years to come.

Being a Fruitport graduate, I've always had pride in being a Fruitport Trojan.  I enjoy serving my community and want to help ensure our kids have a safe, encouraging and nurturing setting to grow.   I believe Fruitport is one of the best districts around and I'm honored to be serving on its school board.

I am passionate about serving my community and am honored to do so on the Fruitport Board of
Education. As a strong advocate for public education, I am proud of our district’s ability to
facilitate rigorous educational experiences within a deeply nurturing environment. My goal is to
help ensure all children in our district receive an exceptional education and leave Fruitport
Community Schools prepared to be visionary citizens and life-long learners.

I ran for the Fruitport School Board because I wanted to make sure our kids were thought of first in all decisions that needed to be made now and in the future.  I have found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences I have had. My most favorite part is seeing the work of our students whether it is on the field, on the stage, in an arena, or presenting before the school board. I take great pride in Fruitport and take every opportunity to promote our school system to others.
