Board of Trustees

The Bruneau-Grand View Board of Trustees is charged with making decisions about school policies, ensuring that administrators adhere to the budget, analyze educational goals, and hire and evaluate district leadership. They volunteer their time and talents to ensure the success of every child within our school district.

We invite and welcome parents and community members to attend our board meetings held at 7:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month in the board room unless otherwise posted. We’ve provided our schedule at the side of this page for your convenience.

    I have been married for just over 41 years to my wife, Marla Blaser. We have four adult children and four energetic grandchildren. I enjoy hunting, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, trail running, sport shooting, reading, and time with family.

    I began my career in education in the early eighties teaching and coaching at the middle school and high school level. I gained experience working with diverse students as a teacher, as a professional technical club advisor, and football & track coach.

    After 13 years of teaching and coaching I made a transition to law enforcement where I served in a growing metropolitan police department for over 10 years. During this time, I served as juvenile detective, SRO, Idaho POST instructor, and Metro SWAT Team member.

    After serving twelve enjoyable and rewarding years in law enforcement I accepted a position with the West Ada School district as a middle school assistant principal, and later moved to a large high school where I served in this capacity for eleven years.

    In 2018, I accepted the position as Superintendent of Cascade School District and served as their superintendent for three years.

    As superintendent of the Bruneau-Grand View School District, I have had the opportunity to lead important and necessary changes which have resulted in continuous academic achievement, improved staff morale, financial stability, and greater community trust. I enjoy working with the BGV School Board as they manage local education through these changing times with declining enrollment, and sky rocketing costs. Together, we are determined to set a course that will keep the district financially healthy and students fulfilling the mission from kindergarten to graduation for decades to come.
