I was raised in Newton, and chose to come back to our wonderful city with my wife Janna and son Adam.

Adam is a 3rd grader at Bowen, and I want to ensure that Adam, and all of our children, get the support, challenge, and community they need to thrive.

For generations, Newton has attracted families like mine and yours based on the reputation of our schools.

I believe our schools are strong, but there is so much more we can, and must, do to make them better.
