* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
Served as Board member and officer of BS Wind Drinkers, FC Bozeman/Blitzz/Montana Surf. First paid job was moving and reserving a college library, and served as MSU
Map Librarian for a decade. Long-tome library card holder (42 yr), donor, and volunteer. As an Earth Scientist, I am used to a long view rather than a hurried response to
urgent (but not critically important) issues of the day.
* 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 am an old, fat white guy! But at least I know it. I am a fiscal conservative but a social liberal (so I affiliate with no party). One of the best people in my life was my Army
First Sergeant (Black, high school dropout), so I am well aware that the measure of a person has nothing to do with their exterior.

Is there any other information that you feel we need to know?
In the context of current events, I believe everyone has the right to their beliefs (if not criminal). Every parent has the right to pass their beliefs to their children. But no one
has the right to control what other people, or their children, can see, learn, or believe.
