About Me
I am a seasoned business owner and serial entrepreneur
with a passion for innovation and problem-solving. I grew up in Bellevue and relocated to Port Angeles in early 2023 with my partner, Leslie, from a local pioneer family—and I've fallen in love with the beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and the wonderful, welcoming people who live here. I also recognized the significant economic challenges our region faces, and I am eager to contribute my time, skills and expertise to help effectuate change that adds to the vitality of Clallam County and helps improve the lives of our residents.
To gain a thorough understanding of how the Charter Review Commission operates and the issues it addresses, I started by thoroughly reviewing and annotating the videos of the 2021 Charter Review Committee meetings. To learn more about county operations and gain intel about current hot-button topics, I have actively engaged with business owners and county officials, gathering input on what they hope the current commission will focus on.
​
I’m keenly interested in what changes Clallam County residents would like to see in our government. With your top priorities in hand, I will collaborate with fellow commissioners to address these issues and work toward getting new initiatives onto the ballot in November 2025.
