Doug Patillo-Willard School Board

Doug Patillo
Age: 48
Family:  I have been married 20 years to my wife Christina. We have two daughters. Megan is 10 years old and will be in the 6th grade this fall. Ariana is 17 years old and will be a senior at Willard High School. She in involved in the FBLA club and is a member of the National Honor Society. She is also on the varsity girls basketball team.
Education: I attended Willard Schools from kindergarten through high school and graduated in 1990. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism/Technical Writing from Southwest Missouri State University.
Occupation: I am a Business Analyst for Hitch2Trailer.com. We are a retail and e-commerce business selling trailer parts and accessories.
Why should someone vote for you? I have lived in Willard my whole life, attended Willard Schools, and now my children attend Willard Schools. I believe this is the best school district in the state of Missouri. I believe that now is the best time for me to make a difference on the school board. With the wide range of experience I bring (seven years as a business owner, four years as a news reporter/editor, 14 years as a technical writer, and three years as a proposal writer) I believe that my communication skills and writing skills would be of great benefit to the board and the community.
