Why did you choose to join the MSMVCD Board of Trustees? / Why is the mission of mosquito and vector control important to you?

Petaluma needed a representative and I am interested in the work of the District to protect public and animal health. Robust vector control protects my health and the health of my bird and horse. Without aggressive mosquito control, we would not be able to enjoy the outdoors. I am very supportive of the District's public education activities and materials.

What is your relevant expertise?

Project Manager for preparation of the District's Programmatic EIR and similar EIRs in the San Francisco Bay Area.
