I served on the OVA Board 2021-24. I identify as fiscally conservative and socially liberal. For Oakmont, this means I respectfully listen to all voices, and I’m mindful of the message of prudent spending sent by our last election.
I won’t waste your money or mine.
Community safety is always first. Oakmont has made significant progress in emergency preparedness and urban fire risk reduction. Our Architecture, Firewise, Emergency Preparedness, and Meet Your Neighbors groups have worked together well with full support from our General Manager. Fires and insurance challenges serve to remind us of more to be done.
Oakmont 2030 is a vital community conversation. Hundreds of Oakmonters contributed their time and ideas. We need to keep Oakmont attractive. Small actions can be taken in the direction of a long-term plan, all considering costs and benefits. No large expenditures should be pursued until the golf course note is paid off.
The current board has made headway on the bylaws revisions. Our bylaws have been eclipsed by law. This needs focus so that work is not lost.
I was the only board member to vote against the early pay-down of the (low interest rate) golf course note with excess funds from 2023. That money should have gone to reserves or to reduce a dues increase.
I wrote the charter for our Environmental Stewardship committee, which is doing great work.

I’m a 2nd-generation Oakmonter and California native. I’ve volunteered for the Boy Scouts of America for 25 years, currently a camp director and council board member.
I love Oakmont! Thank you for your vote!
