I'm proud to offer my time and energy to the growth and success of the city of Newcastle as a candidate for City Council. I've been a member of the Community Activities Commission for five years working on Newcastle Days and other city events. I've spent 25 years as a television sports anchor and 10 as Digital Media host for the Seattle Seahawks, and have enjoyed hosting events for hundreds of non profit organizations in the region.  I've lived in Newcastle with my wife Mika for 16 years. I will make sound decisions on all city matters based on solid  research, discussions with Newcastle citizens and my fellow council members.A strong and flexible local government is essential to the steady growth of our city and equally important is an informed and involved public. In the final analysis, we're all in this together.  Thanks for taking the time to read this.
