I have recently retired from the Grosse Pointe School System after 30 years of service and nearly four decades in the education world.  I began my journey in Grosse Pointe in 1994 as a math teacher at Pierce Middle School and went on to take on various leadership positions which include Assistant Principal at Pierce, Principal at Trombly Elementary, and most recently, Principal at Kerby Elementary.

Originally from New Jersey, I spent eight years of my career teaching in North Caldwell before making Grosse Pointe my professional and personal home. A proud father of three—Kelsea, Lanie, and Shane—all of whom are graduates of the Grosse Pointe Public School System. I remain passionate about education, leadership, and fostering strong school communities.

I am a certified public accountant with a bachelor of art’s in accounting from Michigan State University. I spent 13 years at Deloitte and Touche as a senior manager in the tax department where I assisted multinational companies and entrepreneurs with tax efficient structuring and planning. I also served as the chief financial officer at Meridian Health Plan.

I am very active in the local community where I serve as president of the Grosse Pointe Farms/City little league and I was recently the Vice President of the St. Paul Athletic board.

I am an attorney licensed to practice in Michigan and Florida.

I earned a bachelor of art’s degree in economics from Michigan State University, and a juris doctor’s degree from the University of Miami School of Law.

I reside with my family in Grosse Pointe Farms.

I am a local business owner, attorney, and the owner of The Grosse Pointe News, where I am committed to supporting strong, independent local journalism and ensuring that community newspapers remain vital civic institutions.

I graduated from Grosse Pointe South High School, I then earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from New York University’s Stern School of Business and a Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law. I began my legal career in Manhattan at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, where I practiced corporate and securities law, advising investment banks on initial public offerings and private placements.

After returning to Grosse Pointe Farms with my wife, Nancy, in 2008, I became deeply involved in civic, nonprofit, and business leadership. I helped found the Grosse Pointe Housing Foundation, co-founded the Grosse Pointe Public Safety Foundation, and co-founded the Detroit Crime Commission. I also founded Pointers for Academic Excellence, an advocacy organization promoting strong public education in the Grosse Pointes, and I am member of the Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce. I played a key role in revitalizing Grosse Pointe Park’s commercial district, including the development of locally focused businesses such as The Bricks Pizzeria and Coreander’s Children’s Bookshoppe.

I bring extensive executive and board experience from my prior roles as Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Legal Counsel for a multi-state healthcare organization, as well as president and board leadership positions overseeing technology, operations, and governance. I currently serve as an elected Trustee of the Grosse Pointe Public School System Board of Education and served as Board President in 2024, following service as Treasurer.

In addition to my work in journalism and public service, I am a film producer. I produced Exhibiting Forgiveness, written and directed by acclaimed artist Titus Kaphar, supporting the film’s development while preserving the creative independence of its vision.

I live in Grosse Pointe Farms with my family and am dedicated to strengthening Michigan’s local press, public education, and community institutions.

I was born and raised in Southern California. My family had several educators, my Father was the Principal of my elementary school. My degree in college was in Early Childhood Education. I taught at Head Start.

When we moved to Houston in 1981 I became involved in the education program at the Houston Zoo where we had classes for the Houston public schools 3-5th grades.

When moving to the Detroit area in 1991 I was encouraged to live on the West side. Luckily for my family a few Grosse Pointers quietly suggested living here. One of the selling points, besides the small town feeling, was the excellent Public School System.

I am excited to be a part of this board to continue offering the best education to the GP families!

I was born and raised in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan, and graduated from Grosse Pointe North in 2004. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Will, and we are proud parents of three children — a son in Kindergarten, a daughter soon to begin Preschool in GPPSS, and a younger child who will also attend Grosse Pointe Schools in the future.

I am an attorney licensed to practice in Michigan, and I work at a law firm located in Grosse Pointe Farms. Grosse Pointe has always been near and dear to my heart, and I feel incredibly fortunate to live, work, and raise my family in this special community.

I’m thrilled to serve on the GP STEAAM Foundation Board and have the opportunity to support the students, staff, and administration of GPPSS. It’s an honor to help make a meaningful difference in the lives of families across the district.

I’m excited to combine my passion for economics and finance with my dedication to STEAAM education on the board of the GP Foundation for STEAAM Support. As a financial advisor focusing on holistic financial planning, I recognize that the skills and knowledge gained from a STEAAM-focused education can have a profound impact on an individual's long-term success.

I host a financial podcast and take part in speaking engagements and educational workshops, with a particular focus on financial literacy for women. Raised on the campus of an elite boarding school, where my father is a math professor, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of investing in STEAAM education on learning outcomes.

I live in Grosse Pointe Farms with my husband Jay and children, Jackie and JP. Jackie will be a freshman at Grosse Pointe South and JP will be in 8th grade at Brownell Middle School. I currently serve on the Policy and Contracts Committee for Grosse Pointe Public School System (GPPSS). I also contribute to various organizations, including serving on the board of Phoemale and MOPS.

Grosse Pointe is very special to me and my family.  I was raised in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan, and I graduated from Grosse Pointe North High School. Years later I married my classmate and dear friend, Jim, and we have been blessed to be able to raise our family in this wonderful community where we both grew up in and currently live in.

 Currently, I am the Executive Director of my family's foundation, The John A. and Marlene L. Boll Foundation and have held this position since 2005.

 It is exciting to be a board member of The Grosse Pointe STEAAM Foundation.  I look forward to watching the foundation grow as we inspire our educators and deepen our community relationships, which will impact the children of Grosse Pointe and beyond.

I was born and raised in Flushing, Michigan. I attended Michigan Technological University on a football scholarship where I received two bachelor of sciences degree’s one in management information systems and a second in operations and systems management.

My wife Aimee is a lifelong resident of Grosse Pointe that graduated from South in 2008. I moved to the area in 2016 and fell in love with the Pointes. I am a current resident of the Farms where I reside with my wife and 1 year old daughter.

For the past ten years I have worked as an IT professional in the automotive industry, and I am extremely excited to be a board member of this foundation and for the impact it will have on this amazing community.
