This information is provided by the candidate

I am running for my second four-year term on our Town Council. My wife, Lynne, and I moved to Portola Valley in 1991. I have served 4 years on our Town Council, as a Council member and as Mayor, and 6 years on the Planning Commission, as a commissioner and as the chairman. I was chairman of the Westridge Architectural Supervising Committee (homeowner's association) for 6 years. I am a retired electronics company executive. I believe in a balanced approach towards preserving the environment that we so enjoy in Portola Valley. I strongly support:

  • improving the safety and functions of our Town Center
  • our trails and open spaces, which give our community its rural character
  • fiscal conservatism in town government
  • as little bureaucracy as possible
  • the enforcement of our ordinances
  • maintaining comity and mutual respect in all debates
  • encouraging the volunteerism that has proven so valuable to our Town

Please support my candidacy.
