Joining the Zone 7 Water Agency board

Voters elected me to the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors in June 2026. The board seated me and two other new directors at its meeting on July 15, 2026. My term runs through June 30, 2030.

For the 2026-27 fiscal year I serve on the Administrative Committee and the Finance Committee.

I live in Livermore. I have spent more than 25 years leading technology infrastructure programs, at SLAC, Yahoo and GE Digital among others, and I served three terms on the OpenStack Foundation board, where I chaired the Finance and Tax Affairs committee.

During the campaign I said the next board would make decisions about PFAS treatment and about how Zone 7 diversifies its water supply, and that those decisions need members who can read a budget, ask hard questions and plan past the next election cycle. I said I would read the budget-versus-actual reports before every meeting and come with prepared questions.

A board's role is policy and strategy, not day-to-day operations. I have done board work before and treated it as a job, not a title.
