I was appointed to a vacated OVA Board seat in 2021 and elected in 2022 with 75% of the ballots cast.  I seek re-election for one more term. I serve as the liaison to our Environmental Stewardship and Emergency Preparedness committees.  I also serve our Architecture and Firewise committees, Movies, Technology Learning Center, and Sunday Symposium. I’m a California native, naturalist and geologist. My career included geophysics, environmental geology, major projects risk management, and communications.

I looked at the big issues I addressed in my candidate statement two years ago.  They’re all still relevant. 

Updates:

I approach issues by gathering knowledge, stakeholder, and expert opinions, assessing risks and opportunities, and building consensus around the best options. I won’t waste money, yours, or mine.

I am on the Executive Board of the Redwood Empire Council of the Boy Scouts of America, which teaches servant leadership.

Thank you for your vote!
