Why am I running again?

Over the next two months this site will serve as the go to spot for my local campaign efforts. I was encouraged to set up the site as a campaign site after a close friend referred to me as The School Committee Guy. It was meant to be a flattering comment but the point was made that folks across the community may not really know me.

So, the side column of the site has my picture, background biographical information, and links to organizations on which I serve as a Board member and the technology firm that I've cofounded. The bottom footer lists a few books that I like. It's not a perfect way to learn about someone but reading lists do provide a glimpse into an individual's way of thinking about the world.

Given my personal, professional experiences and four years of of service on the School Committee I know that I am qualified to serve another term on the School Commitee. However, when it comes to most things in life nowadays resumes aren't enough.

Why am I running again? What do I want to work on accomplishing over the next four years?

I have several major areas of focus and listed them in the candidate survey provided by the Barnstable Patriot.
Over the next few weeks I will describe them in more detail.
