1.) I am a farmer and deal with the challenges of running a business every day. I am a graduate of Adrian Public Schools. I have a bachelor’s degree in biology from South Dakota State University. I am on the advisory board for New Vision Co-op.
I teach CCD religion classes and coach basketball. My kids attend Adrian Public Schools and I want to be more involved in the running of the school. I want our tax dollars to be spent wisely and believe in looking at ways to get the most bang for the tax dollars spent.
2.) Challenges are:
•The diverse population of kids attending our school seeing that they are all given the opportunity for a decent education and the ability to use that education once they graduate.
•The amount of money it takes to run a school along with government involvement. Our tax dollars must be used wisely and stretched as far as possible.
•Hiring and keeping good educators. We must pay a decent wage to keep our teachers and support staff with the district. With good educators comes a great standing in the education community, which leads to a higher enrollment.

1.) I have been on the Adrian School Board the last 16 years and have been chairman for the last 14 years.
