Why are you running for Sammamish City Council?

My wife Daphne and I have been blessed to raise our family in Sammamish, and as long-term residents of nearly 30 years, we have witnessed the dynamic growth of our community as it transitions to a more urban setting and we are concerned for our community character and our quality of life. Recently I retired from a business career and I now have the time to devote to City Council and apply my seasoned business leadership experience for a more open and transparent government. I believe it is my moral obligation to apply the learned management principles of my cumulative experiences to find the proper solutions for growth management, traffic and transit balance, and protection of our environment while maintaining a conservative fiscal policy.

Why are you running for Sammamish City Council?

I’m running for Sammamish City Council because I believe that Sammamish is a special place; however, the growth and development in our region have many worried that what we love most about Sammamish – our great schools, incredible green spaces, and unique Northwest charm – may be at risk.  I’m running to protect our environment, manage growth in a sustainable way, reduce traffic through and from town, manage our finances efficiently and invest in the areas that really matter to us. I want to make sure that Sammamish continues to be a city that our kids can be proud to call home.

Why are you running for Sammamish City Council?

I was born and raised on the Eastside. For the past 15 years, I have travelled throughout the country and nearly every corner of the world, but never found a better place than Washington State to raise a family.

I am running for city council to ensure Sammamish continues to be one of the best places in the world to raise a family, even as we confront the challenges and opportunities that flow from our region’s incredible growth. I believe that I can make a positive impact on our community as we look to our future.

Why are you running for Sammamish City Council?

Over 15 years ago, my husband and I moved to Sammamish to raise our family. I’m running for City Council to protect what we love about our diverse community- our beautiful and safe neighborhoods, parks and forests, quality schools – all of which make Sammamish special. Sammamish needs someone who is deeply committed to the residents of city, who will listen, and has experience in bringing people together. Now, more than ever, Sammamish needs a council member who will do the right thing for the city.
