   My wife and I settled in Los Altos 23 years ago because this is a
   community where families flourish. Our two daughters have thrived
   here. I am running for council to preserve this environment.
   
   Excellent public schools help make Los Altos a desirable place to
   live. For the last eight years I have served on the Los Altos School
   Board (President 1993), helping a good district become one of the
   nation's best.
   
   Despite good intentions, our city government sometimes seems off the
   track. The council needs to develop priorities and major goals that
   it, city staff and the community can use for guidance when making
   decisions.
   
   Given community interests in education, youth development, personal
   safety, neighborhood preservation, traffic reduction, fields and
   parks, cooperation between Los Altos and its school districts should
   be better. My school board experience uniquely qualifies me to lead
   improvement in city-school relations.
   
   With eight years of success overseeing school district budgets, 14
   more on boards of nonprofit organizations, and 32 in business
   management, I've shown that I can get the job done on a tight budget.
   
   Let's work together to make Los Altos city government more effective
   and responsive!
