About Greg

I’m a teacher’s husband, data analyst, and cat dad. I’ve lived in the Fargo-Moorhead area nearly my entire adult life, and I spent years studying education policy while earning my Master’s Degree from Syracuse University.

I was first elected to the Fargo Board of Education in 2022. I currently serve as chair of the school board’s Planning Committee and as vice chair of the Communications, Engagement, and Advocacy Committee.

If elected, my focus will continue to be the long term success of Fargo Public Schools. I am committed to providing an excellent education for all students, honoring the contribution of educators, and responsibly managing the community’s tax dollars.

As a teacher’s husband, I know the challenges that students and educators face every day. I understand that our neighborhood schools are only as good as the educators we staff them with. Talented, hardworking, and dedicated teachers deserve leadership that acknowledges and respects their tireless work preparing the next generation.

This community’s largest investment into Fargo’s future is in the education of our young people. This demands transparency and accountability from the school board, which I am committed to delivering. This isn’t an empty promise. As the board’s Planning Committee chair, I spent the last year leading the board’s effort to reduce spending and bring the budget back into balance for a sustainable financial future.

In my professional life, I work work as a data analyst. My experience working with complex data and finances are a valuable asset at a time when budgets are shrinking and every dollar needs to be spent wisely.

Outside of the school board, I currently serve as the DemNPL chairman for District 11. I also sit on the board of the FPS Foundation and I frequently volunteer at elementary book fairs.

“We ask too much of our educators - we ask them to teach, but we also expect them to be social workers. And advocates. And leaders. And confidants. And healers. And the amazing part is that they actually try to do and be all of these things. But they shouldn’t have to.”
