I have also had the honor of serving on our city's measure its" commission, where I gained valuable understanding of the budgetary workings of our city. One of the first things that I did upon moving back to San Rafael was draw up plans to renovate our home built in the 1900s. This was my first exposure to Planning and I loved read all of their handouts and a lot of the municipal code. I was a student in the first ever Planning Academy and proceeded to get my General Contractors license anal I now work on homes and businesses throughout the county. I have come to understand how Planning shapes the way our city looks, the way we live in our homes, and the way we progress as a city. Our city has a lot of very pivotal decisions coming up and I want to be part of helping to define the future of our city. I chose San Rafael as my home because of the small town feel, the vibrant downtown and the outstanding community that we all participate in building. I want to serve on the planning commission so that I can help define the future of our city without sacrificing our past and I feel that my passion combined with my professional experience would allow me to serve our city wel I. 1�011 -all Peer Leadersh,ig: Able to organize and motivate a group of peers for a common purpose.
