Your current occupation: Lawyer
Employer: Upper Missouri Waterkeeper, Inc.
How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area?: 1-5 yr
Which position are you applying for?: Planning Board (City)
City Limits: yes
Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission?: yes
If so, how long?: Several years
If so, where ?: Bozeman, MT; Wrightsville, PA
Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences.: A Montanan by choice, I
moved to Bozeman because of the unique cultural and social values that bind together our
community. I wish to see our city grow and flourish thoughtfully, in line with the good planning
work previously done in fashioning a Comprehensive Plan and neighborhood-specific growth
plans. Beyond a passion for service and our community, my educational and experiential
background are strong qualifications for service on the City Planning Board. I possess a juris
doctor and masters degrees, with coursework in advanced land use planning, including public
works and infrastructure, related items essential to a holistic understanding of city planning.
Similarly, I've applied these and related skill sets professionally as staff at organizations focused
on protecting and improving community health and resiliency, as well as on other municipal
boards. More specifically, I've served on citizen boards for the City of Bozeman previously
(WRB) where I have very much appreciated meeting and engaging other service-oriented
members of our community and stakeholders in the public. Insofar as I served but the brief 4
month remainder during 2013 of a Planning Board vacancy, and in that short time enjoyed
working on the projects before the Planning Board and fellow Board members' congeniality, I
respectfully request the Commission allow me the opportunity to serve a new full-term and, in so
doing, give back to the community which I hold dear.
