I grew up in Northern California and am the eldest of six children.  My family spent most weekends, school vacations and summer months at my  grandparent’s home in Oroville, running around and playing with our cousins.  As a young married couple, he and his wife were youth leaders in their church and grew to understand the importance of a healthy education on young lives. After ten strong years of marriage, and happier than ever, we are very active in the Gracepoint Church as well as local Grange organizations. I pledge to do everything I can to ensure that the students in our schools receive the best education available and that we foster every opportunity for them to grow and develop into productive members of society.
