Why I’m Running

I grew up in Indiana, moved to Oregon in 1995. Worked in the Multnomah County DA’s office doing Child ABuse, Juvenile Justice and Domestic Violence cases. Former chair of the Oregon Episcopal School and current Chair of Transition Projects, helping people get and remain in safe, affordable and stable housing.

I think of myself as a fundamentally kind, intelligent person driven to get things done. I believe the secret sauce is understanding that people need to know they are being approached with respect before you ask them to come together to get results.
