Incumbent

16 year resident

 

Education

I earned a Master's Degree in Professional Accounting with an emphasis in Tax from the University of Utah.

Civic Involvement

In the early 1990's, I was the co-chairperson of the Sammamish Incorporation Committee.  When that effort failed, I realized that it had done so largely due to the fact that the geographic area designated as the city limits did not consider itself to be a community or to share a commonality of interests.  In the interest of building that shared interest, I became a founding member of the Sammamish Kiwanis Club, a board member of the Sammamish YMCA and continued an active participation in my church.
