I moved to Bozeman in 2017 and quickly came to care deeply about the city and its future. I want to contribute in a small way to its development. The economic vitality of
the city is an essential ingredient to its success. We need thriving businesses and content employees. As an associate professor of economics, I understand some of the
overarching trade-offs and constraints communities face. My hope is to apply these skills to some of the specific challenges and opportunities Bozeman faces.
* The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of
DEI.
I was born in apartheid South Africa. I am acutely aware of the advantages I received as a white South African, and fully appreciate the importance of taking steps to
address historical imbalances in wealth and opportunity.
