About John

Parent, volunteer, and community leader.

As President of the Wagner Ranch Parents Club, I've worked closely with parents, teachers, staff, and district leadership to support the programs and partnerships that help our schools thrive.

My involvement in OUSD has given me a practical understanding of how decisions affect students, families, teachers, and school communities. I'm running for the School Board because I believe thoughtful leadership, open communication, and community partnership are essential to maintaining the excellence that makes OUSD such a special district.
