Boards & Commissions Application Page 2 Please describe your interest in serving on a board, commission or committee and include your qualifications for the position. (Please limit your response to 500 words or less.) As a father of three young daughters, we use the parks here in Tukwila frequently. I feel that parks are integral to the sense of community and the quality of life here in Tukwila. When my oldest entered into kindergarten, a year and a half or so ago, my family truly realized what an amazing community we live in. We have been fairly active in various ways through the school district and I would like to find another way to serve the community. I truly want to make Tukwila an even better place for my kids to grow up in. The Parks Commision would be a great fit since we utilize the parks, and the parks are so important to us and our broader community. My qualifications are that I work for a neighboring city in the Drainage Vegetation Department. I lead a crew that does some landscape work, but I would describe the majority of our work as maintenance and closer to land clearing. Working for a local city's Public Works Department, gives me an insight into the logistical issues, and being a parent and community member gives me an insight into the needs and wishes of the park patrons. I am a member of the PTA at Tukwila Elementary and currently am the Lead for the Parent Advisory Committee for Tukwila School District.
