conversation with the first nuclear reactor power station for a
rural electric company to the Hwy 169 wind generator, the
1
conversion of the old UPA power station to burn RDF and the
demonstration electric power station for cars that was
dedicated last summer. I would enjoy the opportunity to work
with leaders in our area to see what else we can do to help
residents and local business owners in the future to reduce
their energy needs and find better ways to meet the growing
demands.

conservation back then and today I still have a strong interest
in this area. That is why I took a position with my current
employer a year ago, EAG-LED which is a manufacturing and
installation business working with businesses to upgrade to
LED lighting solutions. I have a passion to help local business
owners and working with them to save energy, cut their electric
consumption and provide staff and customers with great
lighting is one way I can help them. I have worked in leadership
positions at work and as a volunteer for many years as part of
the leadership team at our church for over 20 years and as the

Why are you interested in I'm a believer that a strong community is dependent on

reputation for getting things done in the community in a
pragmatic manner through the committees & organizations that
I've served on. I'm a believer in getting things done while at the
same time keeping in mind that we are working with taxpayer
1
dollars & budgets need to be followed. I've worked with staff&
the Parks & Rec Commission regarding some previous projects
&believe that I would be a positive asset to the commission.
The City Council has budgeted for the project I worked on for
the east field at Oak Knoll. That is the last project in the
foreseeable future that any of the organizations I represent has
with the city&with that I would like to take my skills &
experience to help our community further.

City Liaison for Elk River Youth Football where I again worked

Knoll. I believe that working with staff&the commission on
these projects has given me a better understanding of the
pressures that Parks & Rec is under as far as budgeting is
concerned. I'm the current Vice President of the Elk River
Quarterback Club where I handle a diverse group of member
families as well as operations, fundraising, sponsorship &
anything else to provide our young people with the best

RE: Application r to Serve on the Utilities Commission-Conflict of interest
A current city c unci) member is a former client of mine and his wife is a current client of mine. I do not
anticipate any issues with this relationship and my ability to serve on the commission, but I wanted to
