David Fauth is an engineer for a data analytics firm, and a long-time Stafford County resident who has education coursing through veins.
Fauth’s father served on the board while he was growing up, his mother and grandmother were teachers as well. Together they influenced Fauth’s belief in the value of education.
Fauth, along with his wife of 31 years, Nancy, a nurse, raised four children who attended Stafford County Public Schools which, according to him afforded his children a good educational experience. His children range in age from 20 to 27.
Today, Fauth has volunteered his time to the county from teaching children at the Stafford Baptist and Mount Ararat churches, donating food and supplies to area neighborhoods, coaching soccer games, and officiating swim meets.
Fauth wants to bring the values of community service to the school board where he wants to be, in his words, a servant leader who wants to discuss ways to solve problems and rejoice in what is working.
Fauth will run against Maya Guy for the Stafford County School Board seat representing the Aquia District. Potomac Local News interviewed Fauth on what he hopes to bring to the table and to discuss some of the issues that the Stafford Schools are dealing with.
