VISION & PRIORITIES
01
RESPECT FOR
EDUCATORS
The dedication of our educators and staff reaches far beyond the classroom, shaping our children’s futures and strengthening families across our community. They are the backbone of our district, and their work continues to bless this generation and the ones that follow. Investing in fair compensation for those who pour into our children every day is not only wise stewardship, it’s a reflection of the gratitude and respect they deserve.
02
RESULTS FOR STUDENTS,
EVERY STUDENT
A strong public school system should open doors for every student, no matter the path they choose to pursue following high school graduation. As someone who believes deeply in the dignity of hard work, I know that not every student is called to a four‑year university—and that’s something to support, not overlook. Our district must provide high‑quality academic instruction alongside robust career and technical programs that prepare students to step confidently into the workforce, start a trade, or pursue specialized training. When we equip all students with real‑world skills and meaningful opportunities, we strengthen families, support local businesses, and build a community where every young person can thrive.
03
SOUND FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP
Good stewardship is not just a fiscal principle—it’s a moral one. Taxpayers deserve a school board that treats every dollar with respect and keeps the focus where it belongs: on students and the classroom. That means prioritizing academics, supporting teachers, and ensuring resources are directed toward programs that deliver measurable value. I am committed to transparency, accountability, and responsible budgeting that reflects the values of our community. Wise financial management today ensures that future generations inherit a school district that is strong, stable, and worthy of their trust.
04
A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
PARENTS AND EDUCATORS
As a father of two active Katy ISD students, I know firsthand that a child’s success is strongest when parents and educators work side by side. I believe deeply in the responsibility families carry in shaping their children’s future, and I’m committed to ensuring their voices are heard. Our district thrives when we listen to families, respect their concerns, and build a true partnership between home and school—one rooted in trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to helping every child reach their potential.

SERVICE
Jim’s commitment to service has shaped every chapter of his life and reflects a belief that strong communities are built through steady, principled leadership. His role as an Alternate Commissioner for the City of Katy Planning and Zoning Commission has further deepened his understanding of responsible growth, longterm planning, and the
importance of listening carefully to residents when making decisions that affect families and neighborhoods. As a Board Member for Keep Katy Beautiful, he has worked to protect the character of Katy’s shared spaces and strengthen civic pride through hands-on stewardship.
Beyond civic service, Jim has invested deeply in developing leaders and strengthening community through a Men’s Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith leadership organization, where he has served Katy area men in multiple leadership roles. His work in this setting reflects his belief that leadership begins with a willingness to do hard things,
accountability, and a desire to serve others. Jim has consistently stepped forward to encourage and support men seeking to grow physically, relationally, and spiritually, modeling the kind of integrity and humility he believes should guide community service. In Spring 2025, he organized a major fundraising effort across this Men’s organization to support The Manna House, an organization dedicated to helping men overcome addiction and rebuild their lives.
Jim has demonstrated a heart to serve children and students both globally and locally. He led Houston Area fundraising for a period of two years for the Eagles Wings Zambia Disc Golf Ministry, helping expand faith-based sports programming for youth in Macha, Zambia. Closer to home, Jim has led and supported efforts to fundraise and provide bicycles and gifts through Katy Elementary’s annual December giving tree campaign over a period of five years. Across every role, he has demonstrated a consistent pattern of virtuous leadership—rooted in service, guided by faith, and focused on strengthening the lives of students, families, and the broader Katy community.
CAREER
After graduating from Texas A&M with a Bachelors of Science in Bioenvironmental Sciences, Jim began a career in consulting that now spans over 20 years. His experience as a partner in a global consulting firm equips him with a rare blend of strategic insight, disciplined execution, and collaborative leadership that translates directly to effective school board service. Leading complex projects has strengthened his ability to manage budgets, timelines, and diverse stakeholder expectations—skills essential for overseeing district initiatives. His account management work has honed his capacity to listen carefully, build trust, and maintain strong relationships with clients and teams, mirroring the partnership-driven approach needed to engage families, educators, and community members. Operational leadership has given him a deep understanding of how to align resources, improve processes, and drive longterm organizational performance. Together, these experiences position him to bring thoughtful governance, steady judgment, and a results-oriented mindset to the Katy ISD School Board.
FAMILY
As graduates of Katy ISD, both Jim and his wife Kelli have deep roots inside the District. These ties now extend to being the parents of two Katy ISD students - one in junior high and one in high school. Jim and Kelli’s children are active participants in the life of the District, involved in a wide range of sports, clubs, and honor societies. Through their experiences, Jim has gained a close, day-to-day understanding of the opportunities, challenges, and expectations facing Katy ISD students. Kelli’s career, spanning more than 20 years serving the mental health needs of Katy ISD students, has given their family a firsthand view of the essential work educators and support staff do to help children thrive.
As a Katy ISD graduate himself, Jim brings the perspective of someone who has walked the same hallways and benefited from the same community he now seeks to serve. Combined with his experience as a parent and as the husband of a dedicated Katy ISD professional, he understands the importance of strong schools, responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources, and a culture that empowers educators. Jim is committed to drawing on these lived experiences to serve families with integrity, respect the professionals who shape students’ lives, and focus on meaningful results that help every student succeed.
