Why I'm running
Baltimore’s kids deserve a safe path to opportunity. I’ve spent my career fixing complex problems by aligning people, budgets, and timelines—then measuring what matters. I’m running to focus the board on three practical things families feel every day: getting to school, staying engaged after the bell, and learning in healthy buildings.
My background isn’t in bureaucracy - it’s in building things that work. A a former Navy Submarine Officer and successful entrepreneur, I know how to manage complex systems, align stakeholders, and deliver measurable results. That’s the mindset I’ll bring to our schools: fix what’s broken, invest where it counts, and make sure our decisions are clear, transparent, and accountable to families.
Background that informs my approach
Vice President of Community Engagement at Care Access
I lead a global team that delivers high-volume community programs in complex environments - planning staffing, budgets, and partnerships so services reach tens of thousands of people where they are. That same playbook - clear goals, tight operations, and public tracking - is how I’ll improve student transportation, expand after-school options, and make progress visible to families.
Former Chief Revenue Officer at BlocPower
At BlocPower I helped scale building upgrades in under-resourced neighborhoods by aligning city agencies, contractors, and financing around measurable outcomes. I’ll bring that execution mindset to Baltimore’s facilities - prioritizing critical repairs, verifying completion, and turning stranded assets into community value.
Naval Academy Graduate and Professor and Former Submarine Officer
The Navy and submarine force trained me to run complex systems safely and on time, with checklists, drills, and after-action reviews; teaching at the Naval Academy reinforced respect for educators and consistent standards. I’ll apply that discipline to on-time student commutes, dependable after-school schedules, and transparent follow-through on facility fixes.
Department of Energy Building Efficiency Program Manager & Founder of a Engineering Consulting Company
I’ve managed building-efficiency programs across federal, state, and local lines and advised clients on practical upgrades that cut costs and improve comfort, and I've also done the hands on work to implement these programs in the field. I’ll use that experience to modernize school buildings, publish plain-English progress dashboards, and capture savings we can reinvest in our children
