My wife Laurie and I grew up in King County and have lived in the City of Shoreline
for nine years.  I have served the City of Shoreline as a volunteer on the
Planning
Commission for five years, including one year as Vice Chair and currently as
Chair.  I listen to the community for ideas about how Shoreline can enhance
neighborhood character and protect the natural environment as the city grows and
develops.

My work in the region has earned me a reputation as a leader in local
government.  I've worked for Snohomish County for ten years.  My current position
is a Legislative Analyst for the County Council.  Before that, I was the county’s
planning manager, and before that, I supervised watershed planning and natural
resource preservation programs.

A former high school teacher, I am still actively involved with education.  I recently
helped Western Washington University and Everett Community College launch a
partnership that will offer new 4-year degree programs in environmental planning
and environmental science through the University Center of North Puget Sound.  In
the 1990s, I worked for the University of Washington to streamline administrative
functions and make the University more efficient and responsive.

Laurie and I are actively involved with volunteer work, and also active in the
outdoors with hiking, camping, skiing, and scuba diving.  I have served as a
volunteer board member of non-profit organizations including
The Society for
Ecological Restoration and The Coastal Society.
