I believe in the role of the San Rafael Planning Commission to advise the Council on land use and property development issues, and to ensure that new development is consistent with the interests and values of the community. In the capacity of a commissioner, I would bring experience with building strategic roadmaps and data-driven decision making, including initiative prioritization. Above all, I would bring active listening to the role, which I believe is essential to the interests of the community. San Rafael is a special community, standing apart even from neighboring Marin communities: it is the largest and oldest city, has a wide range of socioeconomic populations, a vibrant downtown, and geographic diversity and beauty. Above all, I recognize the strong leadership in this community as one of its most compelling assets.

Ultimately, all decisions must ensure that the community's best interests are met.

As an engineer who has worked on large and small construction projects, including two redevelopment projects for the City of Menlo Park, I believe my skills can help Marin grow in a ecologically and financially sustainable way that preserves the County's health, happiness and connection to nature. My family and I are new residents of Terra Linda. We have two children, 8 and 10. Our small school district is the lowest funded district in Marin County because of low property taxes. I want to support reasonable development of Northern San Rafael that will help raise property taxes, but also improve, not harm the character of the neighborhoods. I am particularly interested in the redevelopment of the Northgate Mall. I grew up in rural Sonoma County. Sadly, my neighborhood of Bennet Ridge was destroyed by the Nuns Fire. I love that so many Marin neighborhoods are connected and even mixed with wild habitat, but I feel it is critical we continue to consider fire risk.
