How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area?: >10 yr
Which position are you applying for?: TOP
City Limits: yes
Have you ever served on a City or County Board or Commission?: no
Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences.: I am a geographer by
training with backgrounds in natural resources, planning, and mapping. For the past 16 years I
have worked in the private sector, the last 14 years as the owner of DTM Consulting. DTM is a
science-based natural resources consulting company focused on mapping and spatial data
analysis. Through DTM I have worked with public (city, county, state, and federal), private, and
not-for-profit sectors on a broad variety of land use, planning, and management issues. I
currently serve as treasurer of the Bozeman Masters Swimming Club (my term ends this
summer). My previous board experience includes an elected 2-year term as the treasurer of the
Montana Association of Geographic Information Professionals and as the president of the
Bozeman Triathlon Club. Additionally, I acted as race director for the Bozeman Tritons
Triathlon for the past three years. These experiences solidified my commitment to collaborative,
community-based planning processes that help lead to informed decisions. My personal passion
for outdoor activities drives much of my desire to see Bozeman continue to lead in protecting
open space and providing recreation opportunities for its citizens and visitors. My professional
background allows for critical assessment of options. And my past board experience provides a
foundation for working collaboratively on potentially contentious issues. I believe that,
cumulatively, these experiences would allow me to be a strong member of the TOP Committee.
