Back to School with Mask

Every child who attends Eanes ISD deserves an exemplary education in a school district that prioritizes their social and emotional well-being.  I have lived in Eanes ISD for over 20 years and my children attended Eanes ISD from kindergarten through high school graduation.  I have spent hundreds of hours of volunteer time serving children in our community.  I am deeply invested in our community.  For me, it's always about Eanes ISD and doing what's best for our children.

Join me in making a clear commitment to our children:

Keep Eanes ISD excellent.

Making a Difference

As an active and involved member of the Eanes ISD community for 20 years, I understand our culture and values.  I am an experienced community volunteer who works hard for our children.  From cold nights on Scout camping trips, to helping coach early morning baseball practices, to chaperoning band trips, I have put my volunteer time where my passions are - helping young people grow into successful adults.

A true servant leader

I am an experienced Eanes ISD School Board trustee.  I invest an average of 50 hours a month in service to the children, teachers, and parents of our district.  I am a regular visitor to school campuses and many sporting, fine arts, and community events.  For me, serving as trustee is not a hobby, but a duty that I enjoy fulfilling.  

We support james

"James is an active, engaged, committed member of our community.  His long record of strong work and accomplishments demonstrate both his understanding of our needs and his ability to get things done for us."
