Other facts

As a lifelong resident, local contractor, parent and activist, I understand the needs of this area, and I’m excited by the opportunity to give back to my community in this capacity.

Public service has always been one of my core values. I was raised in a family that embraces community service, and I am raising my own family here in Santa Cruz County with that same commitment.

I serve on the Boulder Creek Recreation and Park District Board, the Board of Community Bridges, the Steering Committee for the Redwood Mountain Faire, and as President of the Boulder Creek Business Association. And I’m extremely proud to have been a founding board member of Youth First, the non-profit that built the Teen Center in Felton.

I serve my community with passion, integrity and honesty. As a self employed business owner, I have executed all aspects of project leadership, including budgeting, scheduling, financing, design, permitting and subcontracting. I work with various business stakeholders, cities, counties and municipalities to achieve projects that complement our community goals.

I have a vision for the future of Santa Cruz County that includes green business practices, long-term planning that prevents sprawl, reducing energy use and protecting the environment for our children and our planet. I understand how government works, and the role that county government plays.

I have enjoyed rolling up my sleeves and working hard to get things done, and I look forward to what we can accomplish together when elected to the Board of Supervisors. I hope that I can earn your support and your vote on June 5.
