* Please describe your professional and personal experiences, interest, and qualifications that make you a good fit for this board.
Previous experience on the board along with nearly 45 years of construction experience in Bozeman
* 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 believe that DEI initiatives, while well-intentioned, can sometimes prioritize group identity over individual merit and qualifications. I think it's important to focus on fairness
and equal opportunity based on personal abilities, skills, and experience, rather than emphasizing diversity metrics. True inclusion should be about treating everyone equally
and focusing on individual contributions, without creating new divisions or forms of discrimination
