I've served as an election judge, a member of the Comp Plan Review Committee, in cleanups and other activities with HeightsNEXT, and hope to continue serving in our cit} through a commission appointment. I specifically am interested in serving on the Planning and Zoning Commission due to my longstanding interest in urbanism I've pursued this interest by reading widely on the subject from many sources, including Strong Towns and Streets.MN, and am a member of both organizations. I feel this would allow me to be an informed and active member of the commission, ants I look forward to diving into the details of P &Z issues in Columbia Heights. I also have strong mathematical and analytical abilities that I use daily in my job overseeing underwriting and risk management for a bank. That professional background and my degree in economics give me an understanding of fiscal responsibility and I believe they would be useful to the commission. Finally, I am a committed walker and am in the process of walking every street in our city. This gives me an 'on the ground' perspective that I feel would be very useful as issues come before the commission. Overall, I am an enthusiastic citizen of Columbia Heights and would be excited and honored to be selected to serve my city further by appointment to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to apply.
