I currently hold my CPA and have worked with small businesses in the Bozeman community for 15 years. I have also worked on various development projects with the city
and built a downtown commercial building in 2015. I current manage and own commercial and residential real estate in Bozeman and have the financial understanding of
the process. I recently worked on and become more engaged in sustainable building practices and am hopeful i can contribute to its progression.
* 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 have read the most recent published Inclusive City report from May of 2022. The report is great and very comprehensive however it is concerning that it hasn't been
updated since 2022. I am currently a CAP volunteer (10+ years) with Thrive and have also participated in events with BYEP & Eagle Mount. I believe all citizens of our
community are deserving of equal rights and those of us who are more fortunate should give back through acts of service which I have done for the past 15 years.
