* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
I have been a citizen of this great community since 2008 and operated multiple businesses here since. I have employed hundreds of our fine citizens and built buildings that
will stand for decades. I live, work, shop, and recreate in downtown Bozeman. I own multiple properties downtown and have worked with city staff from all departments for
more than fifteen years. My experience and deep understanding of civil and commercial construction allows me to be a productive civil servant immediately.
* 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 an immigrant and a veteran, I take this subject seriously. I value diverse perspectives in my life and my business and attempt to surround myself and employ people that
can add different viewpoints. All of my employees are currently women and I have always hired people of all walks of life, ethnicities, and gender identities. I aim to bring
that attitude with me in my service to the citizens of Bozeman.

Is there any other information that you feel we need to know?
I was a city of Bozeman employee from 2008 to 2010 at a Patrol Officer for the Police Department. I left to better serve my daughter as a single father. I consider integrity
one my most important values and hope this board shares that ideal.
