The five member Board of Fire Commissioners for King County Fire District #43 is responsible for determining levels of service, funding, employing key personnel, guiding strategic planning and representing the District to the public.

I have served the Maple Valley citizens as a Fire Commissioner since 2010.  During that time we have seen significant growth in our community, increases in service demands and have become part of the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority.

Prior to retirement, I worked for Renton Fire Department for thirty years as a Fire Inspector/Investigator.   I gained a knowledge of the inside workings of the fire department.which has helped me to team with the other four commissioners to address the challenges we face as an ever- evolving community. Working with and for the people of Maple Valley has proven to be a responsibility that I am extremely proud of and hope to continue into the future.
