[« Return to Candidate List](https://www.birkie.com/about/board-of-director-elections/#meet-the-candidates)

**Hometown:**  
Seeley, WI

**Years of ABSF Membership:**  
Not sure about 8

**Occupation:**  
Engineer

**Why are you interested in being a member of the ABSF Board of Directors?**

I have been working with LCO kids with Chris Morley and Birkie One and would like to continue this work as well as other outreach programs.

**What knowledge and skills do you possess that can benefit the organization?**

I was an owner and board member for an engineering firm and now have my own consulting business. I am also a current member of a non-profit board VOBS (Voyager Outward Bound School) and from this experience feel I could add value and direction to the ABSF. I can bring financial knowledge from how to run a company. I also can help with making an organization feel welcoming and inclusive while keeping an eye on direction.

**How do you see yourself helping to fulfill the ABSF vision, mission and values?**

I also coached soccer for a while and the best piece of advice I got from an 8-year-old was “”GRRRRRRRR” what they were really trying to say is keep it fun. I was to focused on drills and strategy, while I should also keep in mind this is supposed to be fun. I think that plays into all of the above
