Signature Mis _1`.Users'\Clk \Shared`.Boards, Commissions, Committees \bfiscellaneous \Application LlIIel03 Date I have been a resident of Newport Beach for just over 20 years now. I live in the Bluffs located in District 4. My life has been greatly enhanced since moving to Newport Beach by the city's parks, beaches and recreationally opportunities. I lived on the beach for many years before moving to the Back Bay area. I participate year-round in the -city sponsored recreational leagues and enjoy our parks with our Weimaraner, particularly the one located across the street here in the Bluffs. Having an interest in local government, perhaps as an elected official, I would like to learn more about that responsibility as an appointed to member of the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission. I graduated from Arizona State University in 1975 with a degree in physical education. While in college, I worked for the Intramural Department as a coordinator and then Assistant Director. I also hold a Master's degree in physical education. I coached college baseball for 15 years prior to returning to graduate school and earn a second Master's degree in Reading and Language Arts. I was granted my doctorate degree from Pepperdine University in Institutional Management in 1996. I now serve as the Chair of the English and Speech Communication Department at Riverside Community College where I have been employed since 1984. The department is made up of 39 full time faculty and 83 part -time faculty in five different disciplines. In addition, I teach graduate level courses in education at California State University, Fullerton. I am presently serving or have served in a number of capacities directly or indirectly connected to the city. I am Chair, of the Special Events Committee for the Corona del Mar Centennial Celebration.. I was a member of the Class of 1999 in Leadership Tomorrow and currently serving my second term on the Board of Directors as Chairman. I am a resident member of the Chamber of Commerce and serve on the Governmental Affairs Committee. I have served on the city's Aviation Committee and have been actively involved with the Airport Working Group. I graduated in 1999 from the Newport Beach Citizen's Police Academy. In addition, I am and have been involved in a number of community activities and programs. I am volunteer for the Toshiba Senior Men's Golf Classic, which directly benefits the Hoag Hospital Foundation since its inception. I am also actively involved in the arts on Orange County. I am a supemumary for the Opera Pacific as well as a Patron. I have helped plan and organize a variety of fundraising events for Opera Pacific including a golf tournament. Further, I am active in fundraising for two local charities; the Orange County Food Distribution Center and Christmas in April. I would not consider myself an "activist" on any particular issue facing the city. I appreciate the beauty of trees, but not if maintaining the tree places an undo hardship on a particular group whether a business or a resident. I support a facility for skateboarders and lighted ball fields, but not in an area where the quality of life might be diminished for residents. I place a high priority on the health and vitality of the city and its residents making the maintenance the scenic outdoor environment, access to recreational facilities, and clean beaches second only to safety. The qualities I would bring to this appointment are leadership and a desire to make city government more friendly and less intimidating. I bring enthusiasm and passion to serve our city as well as the ability to build consensus among groups with different and sometimes opposing interests. In sum, as a long -time resident of Newport Beach, I am acutely aware of the importance of the beach, not only to Newport Beach residents but also to a much greater population in the region. I have had many years professional experience in the field of recreation, which affords me a greater insight into the issues surrounding recreational activities and facilities. Finally, I believe that the role of the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission is a critical one if we are to responsibly maintain the highest quality of life for all of the residents of Newport Beach.

Since young adulthood, I seem to have been drawn to serve my neighbor and my community and that ark of volunteerism remains bright today some 38 years later. Starting as a young 20 year old,1 volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army, served in Vietnam, and left as a Captain. rve since served as the Chairman of the Board of a local Presbyterian church, President of the Homeowners' Association in the Belcourt Community in Newport Beach; for the past 7 years served in e leadership position of Regional Commissioner of AYSO for Newport Beach, and then as Area Director for AYSO for the 7 surrounding cities for the past 2 years. These most recent experiences have brought me in close contact with the City staff, the Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission, as well as the City Council in an attempt to offer the most positive experience possible for the youth of our community. A challenge which I believe I am uniquely qualified to continue to volunteer for, as a member of this commission. I thus welcome the opportunity to serve, if selected. certify that all statements made on this application are true and correct to the best of my ow ledge.
