Yes How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area? 1-5 years * Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission? Yes Where, how long, and what Board? UPF - 1 term, previous iteration of that board for partial term * Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board. I've served on the UPF, and other Parks and Recreation boards in other cities. I have a background in collaborative natural resource planning and management and currently work in the environmental management field. I think citizen involvement in local government is key to good governance and would like to help shape what the UPF board is able to do and what role it plays in governance since it still feels like it is finding its footing. * The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. As a hetero cis white male, I have a lot of privilege and have tried very hard to appreciate where that privilege has given me blind spots to the lived experience of others and to be intentional about giving space to and consideration to voices and perspectives other than my own or ones that just echo my thoughts and feelings.
