City Council
Title: City Council Position 1
Phone: 509-979-1979


I’m originally from Anchorage, Alaska, but I moved to the “lower 48,” as Alaskans call it, in 1996.  I still love Alaska, but not so much the long winters. After time in the Coeur d’ Alene area and Seattle, I settled in Liberty Lake for the quiet, beautiful scenery, and proximity to family across the border.  I intend for this to be my last stop, so I am invested in this community!

Please know that I am here for you.  I ran for this office to be ears and eyes for the citizens.  I am a people person and enjoy meeting new people.  I want your thoughts on keeping Liberty Lake clean, sustainable, welcoming to all and prosperous. Call or email me for coffee!

Term:  Jan. 1, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2027
