Making government work better for people has been the thread through my career.
I've spent 20+ years working in and around government — as a public employee, a federal contractor, a civic technologist, and now as a commissioner on Vacaville's Parks & Recreation Commission.
I believe in public institutions. I believe they can be well-run, responsive, and transparent. Most of my work is about closing the gap between that belief and the current reality.
