The Platform

Serving The Community

Richard has been part of this community for many years, working tirelessly to make it a better place for all.


As a parent of three amazing kids—two in Middle School and one in Elementary school—this opportunity is incredibly important to him. His journey in NISD has been enriched through his dedicated volunteer work, serving as a PTA president, a member of the Citizens Bond Advisory Committee, former Chair of the School Boundary Advisory Committee, and as a Watch D.O.G.S. volunteer. 

 

Having experienced the benefits of public education firsthand, he is deeply committed to ensuring that our schools provide the best opportunities for our students, teachers, support staff, and families. Education is the key to opportunity, and he believes every child deserves the highest quality education we can provide, as they are our future leaders. 


I look forward to listening and learning from all of you, so we can work together to make meaningful improvements.
