Finished 2018 Season 1 in 11th place
WHY YOU ARE RUNNING
I am seeking re election.
I had a wonderful time over the past 6 months accomplishing many things
with my fellow board members. I have a
love and passion for the SLSA ever since I became a member in 2009. I feel it is important to be active in
running such a successful organization that has a rich history in SL. I have gained much experience over the
multiple times as a sitting director and feel I can share my knowledge and
mentor other directors.
WHAT YOU SEE AS THE TOP ISSUES
Some of the top issues I still see are creating more ways to
offer a friendly atmosphere other than at completion days. There has been significant opportunities
added over the last few seasons such as Surf Camp, Yard Sale, and Pre Comp
Party. Finding additional ways to grow
the SLSA and create opportunities to
gather and have fun is a focus I would bring in my re election. There is also confusion going on as to how
one should use our communication services such as the Forums and Group
Chat. A clear and concise set of rules
and regulations that explains disciplinary actions needs to be mainstreamed
throughout these areas. I am also a
strong supporter of having well trained staff members such as Judges, Marshalls
and MC. We continue to grow this pool of
talent, but it is still a focus that we can continue to strengthen.
WHY SHOULD I BE ELECTED
It is great to see more members stepping up this time
around! I support each of the candidates and would love to see them have this
opportunity. I do feel I bring a long
history of experience, a great work ethic and a positive attitude. I would be honored to work with each of these
other candidates and even mentor them in their transition onto the board.
AFFILIATIONS
I am a past team co captain of the very successful REEF RIDERS team that has merged into Team
Tia/CHI. I do not have any SIM
affiliations. I have owned and ran a
couple Surf Companies: Surfari, and Surf Armor.
Both which have been sponsors of competitions over many seasons. Also, I have been affiliated with Surf Camp,
providing surfing lessons. Over the past 3 seasons I have also helped
organize and perform at Pre Comp Parties.
I am also a Photographer for SurfWatch.
Lastly, I am a member of the SLSA Hall of Fame.
Thank you for your consideration and I hope I can serve the
SLSA again for another 6 months.
