Page 3Planning & Transportation Commission
I am very interested in phase 2 of the Embarcadero Road Improvement Project. I grew
up a few blocks from Town and Country, attended Palo Alto High School, and later lived
in a home only a block off Embarcadero Road. I have driven, walked, and biked the
length of Embarcadero Road thousands of times over the past three decades. I have
seen the amount of traffic on it explode. I have experienced the anxiety of riding a bike
along the underpass at Alma. I have stood at the corner of Emerson while waiting for a
break in traffic so I could quickly dart across as a pedestrian. I think that this experience
gives me a very unique perspective in understanding the pain points and evaluating theproposed solutions.
I have lived in Palo Alto nearly my entire life, so this commission is of particular interest to
me because of the direct role it's members have on protecting and guiding Palo Alto's
future. My professional experience as a technology executive has given me many
relevant skills, but it is my extensive personal history and deep affection for our city thatmakes me such a valuable resource to this commission.

Ultimately, I would like to see the commission continue to preserve the unique character
of Palo Alto. This city is at a critical point in time, and the decisions made by this
commission will determine the type of city Palo Alto becomes. There is no denying that
many aspects of the city need to change to accommodate the changing reality of thelarger Bay Area, but the changes need to be done thoughtfully and always with the goalof preserving what makes the city so amazing. I think my first-hand experience growing
up, studying, working, starting a business, and living in both an apartment and homes
here allows me to understand many different point of views and develop the best
solutions for everyone.
Having attended/watched many PTC meetings and in order to better understand theissues of the city, I have, over the years, become somewhat familiar with the Palo Alto
Comprehensive Plan, the City Charter, and the El Camino Real Master Plan. I am
currently far less familiar with the other documents.

Parks and Recreation Commission Application

1. What is it about the Parks and Recreation Commission that is compatible with your
experience and of specific interest to you, and why?
I have resided in South Palo Alto for the past eighteen years with my wife. We have
raised our two daughters here in the Palo Alto School system. Over the years, my family
and I have been fortunate to enjoy many wonderful resources and services that our
community offers. From “Story Time” at the library and dance recitals at Cubberley to
Mitchell Park “gopher holes” and May Fete parades; from swimming and art lessons to Kidz
Love Soccer and Hi-Fives Camps; from block parties and Foothills Park picnics to family
bike outings for “Hot Dog” shows and the Jr. Museum and Zoo; from soccer games and
street fairs to Canopy Tree Walks and watching pelicans soar in the Baylands, my family
and I truly appreciate and understand many special aspects of Palo Alto. My family also
has a track record of contributing within our community.
I am very passionate about Palo Alto and many of my pursuits connect directly with our
community’s resources and services. My personal passions include soccer, hiking, trees
and plants, biking around town, and general environmentalism and sustainability. While I
have outlined goals below that I am interested in accomplishing as a Parks and Rec
Commissioner, this is not an agenda. These are goals aligned with the in-progress Master
Plan. My ultimate aspiration is to give back to and contribute to our community.
I have worked directly with the Community Services staff for many years on soccer and
field-related matters. I have tremendous respect for this team and would look forward to
working with them more closely. More recently, as part of my efforts with Canopy, I have
also worked with Public Works staff, and would look forward to broadening this
relationship as well. Having worked as a systems engineer and project manager for 30+
years developing professional video products, I thrive on collaborating with others to
find creative solutions to difficult problems. I am very detail oriented and organized,
and I envision many opportunities to “dig in” if I am selected for this role.
I feel privileged to have time and energy to offer. I would be honored to serve our
city, contribute to the implementation of our new Master Plan, and learn and grow along
the way.
