I am a retired career Army officer, history professor, husband, father, grandfather, and lifelong consversative Republican.
- Keep Our Schools Safe Keeping students, teachers, and staff safe must always be our top priority. Students are unable to learn, and teachers cannot teach, if they are in an unsafe environments fearing for their lives. Every school must have a properly-trained and armed law enforcement officer on campus. Teachers who meet proper qualification and training should be allowed to carry concealed firearms to protect our children.
- Prepare All Students for Success All students must learn to be proficient in reading, writing, and math skills, plus the proper use of technology. Upon those fundamentals, we must build on that foundation, teaching critical thinking and problem solving skills that enable our graduates to succeed. The start of this century has seen the most rapidly changing and dynamic economy in history -- with even more changes coming. We will fail our children if we do not prepare them to become life long learners who have the ability to adapt and overcome these challenges.
- Educate, Not Indoctrinate Radical agendas and ideologies do not belong in our classrooms now or ever. Young children should never be exposed to adult issues. Our schools must be completely transparent so parents know exactly what their children are learning and hearing in the classroom. Critical Race Theory has no place in any school. It perverts American history and undermines our Constitutional Republic. The only flags that should be flown or displayed in a classroom or on campus are the American flag and the Tennessee state flag.
Oversight, school safety, curriculum, taxpayer accountability, teacher recruitment & retention, life long learning.
I have several, but first is Theodore Roosevelt.
The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Character. Service. Results.
I am a retired career Army officer and a retired university professor.
As a soldier-scholar, I know education and how to get difficult things done.
Service to ones constituents.
Kids who learn and grow to become successful adults.
President Kennedy's assassination. I was 12.
My first job was at 16. I worked at McDonalds flipping burgers off and on for 3 or so years.
Bad Moon Rising by Credence Clearwater Revival. And no there is not a bathroom on the right.
Oversight of polices, budget, and achievement.
The voters of Williamson County who live in Spring Hill.
Open communication.
Students learn life long skills and critical thinking abilities.
We need to be teaching the classics which are the foundations of successful western civilization.
Work with the County Commission, the State Legislature, businesses, and other donors to maintain adequate funding.
Keeping students, teachers, and staff safe must be our top priority.
Students are unable to learn, and teachers cannot teach, if they are in an unsafe environments fearing for their lives.
Continued access to qualified mental health providers.
The School District needs to finalize the book review and selection process.
First and foremost it must be safe. And students must feel valued.
The school district did the best it could under compulsory federal and state mandates. Fortunately, we've all learned much from the varying responses to the pandemic and are better prepared to deal with future emergencies.
Be open, available, and accessible. Anytime any place. I am twice retired.
Recognition and incentives.
No hidden figures. Absolute transparency.
