Occupation: Business Consultant
Age: 52
Education and Qualifications:
B.S. Finance and Accounting, Minor in Journalism and Economics, C.P.A.

My wife Susan and I have three small children, age 10, 10 (twins) and 13 in the Palo Alto Schools. We own a home in South Palo Alto. I love this town. Palo Alto is a great place and I have a vested interest in keeping it as one of the best places on the planet to live and raise a family. My advocacy is a vision of financial balance and well-funded infrastructure so that a financially strong City Government remains as a foundation, along with strong neighborhoods and great schools. My experience as a Certified Public Accountant and experience as a father are great preparation for this much-needed advocacy. I am a cooperator.

Specifics: we need to prioritize City expenditures and make room for infrastructure reserves. In a word - Discipline. With the Rail in my back yard, I have a vested interest in protecting this devastating transportation scheme from running though our residential neighborhoods. We can find a win-win solution. By not accepting endorsements or contributions, I offer an independent voice and an open mind to the office. It is a privilege to offer a choice.
