Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences. : I am interested in being a
member of the TOP Committee for the following reasons. First, my 30 plus years of business
experience in a variety of large and small companies has taught me how to carefully and
transparently make resource trade-offs. This skill will be important in allocating the $15 million.
I have directly managed organizations that have had substantial resources and those that have
had little. In both cases, the organizations have succeeded. Second, I take great pride in the fact
that we live here. LigoCyte, the company I lead, contributes to the local economy and has been a
solid supporter, alongside its employees, of the GVLT. And on a personal note, my commitment
to Bozeman is strong. We intend to stay in Bozeman and I would welcome the challenge of
helping the community build upon its already successful trail, open space and parks
accomplishments. Third, I will be a good listener, team member and a leader if selected to this
advisory position. We will achieve great results together.
