I grew up a fourth generation student in the Big Walnut School System, and I went to college with the help of scholarships. Today I am grateful to raise my children in our community and to serve through the Big Walnut Education Foundation—a rewarding way to give back by helping create opportunities for Big Walnut graduates.

I give to BWEF because I feel it’s important to give back to the community that helped raise our kids. I wanted to stay involved and continue to try to make a difference in our school district.

As a community member and a business owner in Sunbury, it is my honor to serve on the BWEF. I firmly believe that a good education is an essential component on the path to success. The BWEF is helping our students make their way along that path.

As a graduate of Big Walnut Schools I am so proud to be a part of the Big Walnut Education Foundation. Shortly after graduation from college I came back to Big Walnut to raise my children in this district because of the schools and the close-knit community. I love being able to work with the Big Walnut Community to bring as many resources to our students as possible.

I’m a lifelong Sunbury resident and graduated from Big Walnut High School in 1985. My wife Renee and I have four children and are active members of St. John Neumann Catholic Church. We are both consistent volunteers and advocates for our community; I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve local youth on the Board of Directors for the Big Walnut Education Foundation.

I am a big believer in the value of a good education. I work locally in the community, and my wife Kelsey was a graduate of Big Walnut. I have been involved in the Big Walnut School Finance Committee and the local Chamber, and I am honored to be a member of the Big Walnut Education Foundation.
