My family and I have been deeply rooted in Sammamish for the last 24 years. My kids went to Eastside Catholic and we all trained at True Martial Arts. I have been an active member in the community volunteering with the City of Sammamish, Sammamish Chamber of Commerce, 4th on the Plateau, and as board member for the SAMMI Awards.

I am running for this board position to serve the Sammamish community that I care deeply about. I will bring to this office my extensive experience of leading initiatives, collaborating with others to achieve shared goals, and communicating priorities to ensure alignment with those goals.

I believe environmental stewardship is a key part of this position and know that what we decide will have great impact. My goals are to protect Sammamish’s water resources long term, represent your voice in our community, and keep Sammamish green and clean.

As your current commissioner and a 30-year resident of the district, I continuously advocate for Utilities as essential services that are critical to our daily lives.  For the last 25 years, I’ve devoted my career to public service in the utility industry, specifically water and sewer.  I have extensive experience in managing all aspects of a large utility, including operations, financial management and long-range infrastructure planning.

Our community is facing critical water quality and sewer capacity issues.   As an accomplished Utility leader and an experienced policy maker, I will work to ensure that we deliver high quality water and sewer services that are safe, reliable and affordable, now and in the future. I will partner with Sammamish, Issaquah and regional leaders to work for the betterment of our communities.
