As a Clyde Hill resident of 32 years, I am proud of my volunteer service with the City’s Budget Advisory Committee, of my support of the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club, and of my support of Jubilee Reach.

As a UN diplomat, I worked to provide technical assistance to numerous developing countries.  As a Boeing executive, I worked closely with international airline customers, taking on challenges in finance, engineering, and cultures.  In all cases I learned to listen closely to those around me before making any major decision.

Clyde Hill is a wonderful place to live.  As your council member I will encourage dialogue with our citizens, and will continue to support our professional police force, our first-rate infrastructure, and our stable city finances. The skills that I have developed over the years will serve me well as your Clyde Hill Council Member.  Thank you for your vote.

Clyde Hill is a beautiful, safe, and thriving city. I’ve lived here for 20 years, and understand what providing high-quality public services takes after serving with the City’s Budget Advisory Committee, participating in City Council meetings, learning from elected officials, and seeing our dedicated and highly-responsive police force and city staff at work.

I want to help City government get better at listening to and informing residents. Listening to many of you, I’ve heard surprise about plans for a new city hall and some frustration with city processes and responsiveness. My 24 years of Microsoft executive experience (leading world-wide teams, working with engineering, legal, and finance professionals) can help.

With better communication, we can substantively improve transparency and maintain the services, quality of life, and financial stability our increasingly diverse community already enjoys. I would be honored to represent you on the City Council. Thank you for your vote.
