Why did you want to be a Council Member?
I see the Alliance Council as potentially another way to grow the game in this country by giving fans a sense of ownership in the club. What that looks like on a practical level is what is interesting to me.

What are your goals as a Council Member?
My immediate goal in becoming a Council Member is seeing that “one person, one vote” prevails in Alliance Membership. Beyond that, I would like to see greater visibility of the Council and wider representation on the Council.

When did you know that the Sounders would be a ‘big deal?’
Some of us knew that MLS would be a success in Seattle, but no one could have imagined what a phenomenon it would turn out to be. Seattle may prove to be the place where the success of the league and the sport turned the corner in this country.
