J have owned property in the Fraser Valley since 2004 and moved here full time in 2008. The middle of this May, I will be moving into a new home in Grand Park, which I believe will make me eligible to serve on the committee. Throughout my life, even when residing in other parts of the country, I had the good fortune to visit often and enjoy what Fraser and its surrounds have to offer. Retiring here and becoming a fiill time and active part of the community has been a perfect fit for me. I have the perspective and the relevant experiences listed below that would be of value to your committee. - Education: I received a Bachelor of Science in Urban Studies, an inter -disciplinary degree, exposing me to City Planning, Development, Social Science and Government. At the same time I also earned a Bachelors of Science Degree in Early Childhood Education both from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. - Early Career: I worked for the Missouri Division of Family Services in the Day Care Licensing and Foster Care Divisions. From this experience I well understand what it is like to work for and with large governmental agencies. - Later Career: I purchased and ran, a packaging and logistics company in Cincinnati, Ohio. Over the course of 11 years, I built my company from 23 employees to over 400 and increased revenues more than ten fold. I successfully sold the company in 2001 to a publicly traded firm. From this endeavor, I strengthened skills in solving the multitude of daily challenges one must face in growing a business. Quite pertinent to the business environment in Fraser, I too had to deal with seasonal highs and lows to service the huge swings required by my customer base which was heavily forth -quarter oriented. - Community Involvement: I am very committed to making community service a part of my life and have served on a number of boards and organizations including Kansas City Hospice, the Alzheimer's Association, Mountain Parks Electric Charitable Giving Board, Fraser River Valley Lions Club, and Grand Community Gardens. One project that I have truly enjoyed and feel quite proud is making the Fraser Valley Community Garden come to f tuition. I commenced fund- 0 raising in 2011 and was able to install the $50,000 facility on the North end of the Sports Complex in 2012. The gardens have been financially self-sustaining via rental fees and have drawn the participation of 40 to 50 gardeners each year. Also of value is the fact that my relationships and associations in Grand County, cut across all demographic sectors. I am a person with and open ear, education and experience, which in combination, embraces divergent interests and populations. Please consider me as someone with the skills, interest, and drive to foster future growth in Fraser that is both financially vibrant and enhances the existing character of the community.
