Occupation: President of The Miles Agency, a marketing and public

relations firm

Previous elected post: Ran unsuccessfully for the City Council in

1988, 1990, 1992

Why are you running?: I just want to provide my own skills and

services to my hometown. I'm from here. I'm a product of Virginia

Beach schools. This dark period transcends the education community.

It affects the image of Virginia Beach. I'd like to work with

whomever is there to make sure we turn this thing around.

What can you contribute?: Working with the 10 other board members

and trying to establish a stronger working relationship with the

council and open communications with the parents and educators in

the district.

Children in district schools? None.
