South Tahoe Public Utility DistrictCandidate for Director2 Year Short Term

Over the last 40 years I have served my community in a host of various capacities. From School Site Councils to the Planning Commission I have always participated in good faith and was known as someone who studies their material. Besides the City Planning Commission I also served on the El Dorado County Commission on Aging, the Lake Tahoe Sustainability Collaborate and worked on the General Plan for the City of South Lake Tahoe.

I spent 21 years as a Resort Manager where I learned the difference between being a board member and being a manager. I also learned how to work with groups of competing interests and still get results that benefit all concerned. As a Manager every year I would present the annual budget for review after careful consideration of our expenses, income and changes that have or should occur.

As an elected Board Member I would represent our citizens in oversight of the District. Carefully reviewing strategies for improvement and maintenance.

As a pragmatist and hub personality I have been known to come up with multiple solutions to challenges, and then evaluate which is in the best interest of the goal.

As times and technology change we need to be sure to make appropriate changes to serve our community better.
