Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences.:
I have a BS in Environmental Science, and though not in the development business, I am a small
time contractor, parent, and property owner who understands how integral growth and economic
opportunity are in shaping the quality of life we have in Bozeman. I have volunteered throughout
my adult life. In many instances, long enough to see “dividend benefits” come from my efforts.
Some examples include:
The club lacrosse team I founded in college is now an NCAA team, and subsequent
players on that team went on to start a local high school team. That HS team has engaged
hundreds of rural kids in productive recreation since inception.
In Bozeman, I voluntarily refereed several seasons for the fledgling lacrosse club. There
are now 250 kids playing in Gallatin Valley.
I led the Pinhead Classic Telemark Festival for years, securing nearly 100K in
sponsorship and generating over 15K for the GNF Avalanche Center. The festival is
under new leadership and going into its 33rd year.
I have solicited nearly 30K worth of support so that kids living in the Big Sky Youth
Center or in the Youth Dynamics mentoring program have been able to ski (and rent and
get lessons) for free at Bridger Bowl for the last five seasons.
My wife and I put on the Big Sky State Games Biathlon for five summers. Two neophyte
participants embraced it, formed a club, and are now spearheading an effort to raise
private funds so that the range at Bohart Ranch can be rebuilt.

Other Info: Since my appointment, I have attended every education and information session
offered, driven to the site of every proposal that has come before the body, and missed just a few
meetings. During my entire tenure, there has always been at least one vacancy on the board, and
sometimes as many as three. I would very much like to continue building on what I have
learned, so that I can become more effective in serving our community. I hope you will give me
the opportunity to do so.
