Your current occupation: Land Planner
Employer: Sanderson Stewart
How long have you lived in the Bozeman Area?: 6-10 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.: My family and I were
drawn to Bozeman, like so many others, for the sense of community, unique cultural
opportunities and an abundance of recreation. I believe that access to open space and trails not
only makes for a better quality of life, but is necessary and fundamental for the success of any
community. As a practicing land planner with 20 years of professional experience, I have a broad
knowledge of the nexus between land use principles, public facilities, community goals and
fiscal realities. I have worked as a public planner (Vail, Co), for private development (Vail and
Big Sky) and currently work as a planner in a consulting firm. I believe my experience and
expertise as a planner can aid this new committee as it sets evaluation criteria and makes
recommendations to City Commission. Throughout my career, I have provided staff support to a
variety of public and private boards, including planning commissions, design review boards and
homeowner associations. I currently serve as the president of the Hope Early Learning Center
Board of Directors, a newly formed organization working to establish a child care center at Hope
Lutheran Church. I understand the dedication and experience it requires for a volunteer board to
be effective.
