I was born and raised in Arizona and have lived in Round Valley for 49 years. I have a Bachelors Degree in Public Safety Administration and an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. Previously I served on the board for 6 years. I am married and have three children all of which attended Round Valley schools. I currently work for the Town of Springerville as the Police Chief and have done so for 17 years. I have been the Mayor and a Councilman on the Springerville Town Council, served a term on the Hospital Board, a Hunters Education teacher, Concealed Weapons Instructor, and currently serve in a Governors appointed position on the Northern Arizona Regional Advisory Council on Homeland Security. My hobbies include hunting, scuba diving, and wood working. “I love being on the School Board because you get immediate gratification when you are working with children, and watching good policy take effect on the education of those we serve”.
