Candidate's Statement

I love Oakmont. And I’m proud to say that I also love many Oakmont residents. Thanks to all of you, and despite seemingly continual turmoil in the outside world, my thirteen or so years here have been the most rewarding and joyful of my life.

We’re a wonderfully invigorating and supportive community that has not just survived but thrived for more than six decades. And we all seem to know it. I could not even begin to count the number of people who have earnestly and sincerely told me that they feel incredibly fortunate to live here. My sentiments exactly.

This will be my third OVA election and I’m hoping for similar results as in the first two because I really want to serve. I want to give back to the community that has given my wife and I so much. I want to help continue the legacy of so many Oakmont volunteers down through the years who have donated their time and energy to making this community the very best it can be.

As before, I stand for experience, balance and thoughtfulness. If elected, I promise fiscal moderation, communication and transparency. I promise to lift people up rather than tear them down. I promise to demonstrate and promote kindness and discourage unkindness at all times. I promise to work with you, the board and our staff to thoroughly research and then address our issues to preserve all that is good about our home and avoid all that would harm us. It would be a privilege and honor to serve you again, so I humbly ask for your vote.
