About Me

I grew up in a life of middle class privilege in the city of Bombay, knowing little of the inequities that existed outside my small bubble.  My father worked his way up from near poverty to run manufacturing facilities as General Manager, and instilled the value of hard work in his children.  I arrived in Cincinnati in 1983 to pursue a doctorate. I hold a Ph. D in Chemistry from the University of Cincinnati and an MBA from Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.
I have been a proud resident of Plymouth and the Wayzata School District for 31 years where I have raised my family.  My wife and I have two grown up children, working in the education field, dedicated to supporting education for all.  I strongly believe in fiscal responsibility, which I have followed in both my business and personal life.
