He wanted parents to know which questions they could be asking.
As an educator, he found himself sitting in meetings thinking, You need to ask me this. You need to ask me that. But he says he was discouraged from guiding parents in that way and was told the school’s role was to educate the student, not the parent.
Over time, trying to create change from inside the system left him disheartened. So he made a decision: if he couldn’t support families the way he wanted from the inside, he would move to the outside.
That path eventually led him from educator to advocate.
