Who I Am

By Zev Rattet

I moved to Marin in 1976 as a single father with a 9 year old daughter. I wanted a place that was clean, safe and had great schools. That was and is Marin. I love my community.

Since then my wife and I raised a son who went to Brookside, White Hill and Drake.

My wife has been a French teacher at Redwood High School for over 10 years.

School has been part of my life forever.

I have been very active in our schools.

I served 4 years as a trustee for the Ross Valley School District (San Anselmo/Fairfax).

I served 2 years on the Brookside site council.

I was a classroom volunteer.

In my professional life I have been a president of a software company and the vice president of finance and admin for a hardware company.

I have managed large budgets.

As a software engineer, I am intimately familiar with technology.

I want to be a trustee for our high school district for one reason only; to keep our schools the gems that they are and to make sure that each and every one of our kids gets what they need for a bright future.
