I am a father of 5 with kids in both public and private schools, so I’ve seen the best of both worlds and seen what we can improve. I have a Masters of Accounting from BYU and studied entrepreneurship. I’ve spent my career in public accounting, four technology startups, and investing in public and private companies, so I care not only about being fiscally responsible, but also about the value we receive for money spent. As PTA Treasurer at Cascade Elementary I implemented changes that have been organically adopted throughout our PTA council and even into Utah State PTA. Show More
