Why did you want to be a Council Member?

I feel that in order for Democracy in Sports to truly work, the representatives of the fans need to be able to listen to a diverse group of people and turn all of those ideas and passion into actionable outcomes. I am encouraged by fact that the Sounders FC front office continues to listen to their fan base, and I believe that my experience, both personally and professionally, along with my regular contact with all of you, allows me to provide effective representation, points of view, and courses of action for the continued improvement of our match day experience, both home and away.

What are your goals as a Council Member?

Always work to improve our match day experience to allow all of us to throw every ounce of support to the Sounders on the pitch will always be the primary goal. To ensure that ECS and all supporter groups continue to have a say with the Sounders front office. I also believe that we should continue to work towards ever expanding involvement for the growth of soccer and supporter culture in Seattle, the Pacific Northwest, and the United States...in that order.
