This information is provided by the candidate

I attended public schools on the east coast growing up and my mother was a long-time teacher. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a BA in Biology and from the University of Southern California with a PhD in Biochemistry. After spending three years in in the Brown and Goldstein lab in Dallas, I moved to Ventura county to start my biotechnology career. In 2002, I moved to San Diego with my wife and young daughter to join a small biotech company.

After having spent almost 30 years in science and the biotechnology industry I started my own business two years ago, opening an Elements Massage studio in Carlsbad. Having been on various boards and volunteer positions, I ran for the school board four years ago, concerned with the direction the district was moving.

During this term, I have completed the California School Board Association's Masters in Governance program and I am the only current board member to have graduated from it. I served as both President and Clerk during my four years. I have built strong relationships with the other board members, the superintendent and the administrators. I worked with the teachers to understand the issues and to build an effective governance team.

With two children going through the Del Mar schools, I have been honored to serve on the board. I look forward to continuing what I have started and hope that you will grant me that opportunity on November 4th.
