So, a little about me...I grew up in Elk Grove, CA. I have an Administrative Assistant Associate Degree from LDS Business College. I have lived in Camino with my family for 14 years, and I LOVE living in the mountains. I have 6 kids plus bonus kids at different times that I call my kids and a wonderful husband who supports all I do. I have had 4 kids go through Camino school, and 2 kids are currently attending. I am the Secretary of the PTO and love serving at Camino School and being involved in all the activities. I love reading and books, and every available service in my home is covered in piles of books. I love volleyball and hiking, and I recently started running. My biggest hope in this position is to bring unity and trust between the school board and the school.

I’ve done a few things in my lifetime. Mechanic, firefighter/EMT, IT professional and Chef. Somehow all these experiences have blended together and allowed me to be prepared for pretty much anything that comes my way. I live in Camino with my wife of 25 years. We have 7 grandchildren, two of whom go to Camino School. We have lived in Camino over 6 years now and would never think of moving away from this amazing community. We love it here. I still work full time, but in my limited spare time I love to play my guitars and spend time with my wife, family and our dogs. I joined the Camino school board to give a fresh perspective to how the board operates and listens to the staff, students and parents. I am dedicated to making a difference.
