Born in Oregon and grew up in an Oregon small town, I have a degree in Political Science. I have been working in the Capitol since 1977 both as a staff member and then as a Lobbyist since 1979. My primary area of practice has been in labor lobbying with two focuses, Public Safety and Healthcare. As many of you already know I have been the Lobbyist for the Oregon Council of Police Associations, the Federation of Parole and Probation Officers and the Association of Oregon Corrections Officers for roughly 8 years now. During my time Lobbying on Public Safety issues I have become very aware of the issues that face Public Safety Officers every day in their jobs, in collective bargaining and in retirement.
The task as I see it is to help maintain a strong and well respected Organization, the OSPOA, while helping the State of Oregon rebuild the OSP. To that end, I am committed to assist the members of the OSPOA. We will need to work together the next few years, but I see a window of opportunity that we can take advantage of. The Public and the Politicians now seem to be coming to the same conclusion that we have known for years, a strong OSP is essential for Oregon and the safety of it's citizens. I look forward to working with you on this effort.
