As a North Bend resident for 19 years, I am thankful for our strong community and incredible access to parks and outdoor activities. Over the years, I have seen Si View Parks Programs positively impact my family and community, and I’d like to give back.

I’m an experienced consultant and business leader who will bring strategic thinking, problem-solving, and creative ideas to the parks commission. I will advocate for recreational opportunities that meet the needs of all in our community. I’m a strong collaborator with boundless energy.

As an adventurer, I love to hike, ultrarun and play pickleball. I have even skied 570 miles across Antarctica to the South Pole. I know firsthand how much recreation contributes to a full, healthy life. I want to be commissioner to help further the park district’s mission to enhance the quality of life through their programs and parks, today and into the future.

Snoqualmie Valley.  The place my family and I have called home for 38 years.  Whether serving as Administrator for Highline School District's Environmental Education Facility (Waskowitz), coaching youth soccer, serving as SnVYSA President for over 25 years, owning a business, real-estate broker, or teaching at Mount Si High School, one thing remains true:  My goal is to champion community resources to positively impact the well-being of residents.  My diverse, hands-on experience allows me to understand and appreciate the needs of the community, balancing new services with respect for the history of the Snoqualmie Valley, allowing families and residents to connect and grow.  I value community input in the process of growth - together we can guide the direction of your Park District.

I have valued the opportunity to serve as Parks Commissioner for the past 11 years, and look forward to continuing to serve you in the next term.
