As a dedicated member of the Rialto Unified School District Board of Education since 2008, I humbly ask for your continued support to serve our students, staff, and community. My passion for education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math has earned me the affectionate nickname "Mr. STEM," reflecting my commitment to preparing our students for the 21st-century workforce.

My vision for Rialto USD is one of innovation, inclusivity, and academic excellence. I believe in fostering a learning environment that empowers every student to reach their full potential. I will continue to advocate for enhancing STEM education to prepare students for high-demand, high-paying jobs.

Together, we can build a brighter future for Rialto USD. I respectfully ask for your vote to continue this important work.
