Growing up in New York City, I rode public transit to high school daily. I didn’t get a driver’s license until I was in my early twenties. A car was an unnecessary burden and parking a huge hassle.

Self-employed most of my life, I’ve served on the boards of several non-profits, including eight years with the Colorado Chapter of the U.S. Distance Learning Association, the last two as President.

My involvement in youth sports began at SE Denver Baseball & Softball League, whose Board I joined in 2002. I continue to proudly serve as a Commissioner with the Colorado Babe Ruth League.   

My four years driving an RTD bus began in late 2019. When CoVid hit in March 2020 I began regularly listening to the RTD Board’s monthly remote meetings.

I made myself familiar to, and with RTD’s Directors, becoming very active in my union at ATU Local 1772, serving as its President for a time.

Some have credited my efforts for the successful push on RTD to expedite personal protective equipment (PPE), and rear-door boarding of buses.

My face is familiar to a wide variety of decision makers. Having organized successful RTD Board Candidate Forums in 2020 and 2022, in March 2023 I helped lead the only transit-focused Denver Mayoral Forum, the “State of Our Streets” featuring 16 of the 17 candidates.  

I’m not a professional politician. I’m a longtime community member, a seasoned, progressive leader with some hard-earned wisdom and a firm belief that we need RTD to be successful. I know I’m the right choice.

I’m already working with the Transit Legislation Review Committee. Clearly, we need significant changes and an active, effective Board with mature, forward-thinking leadership. Let’s fix this mess!
