I have a Masters in Business Administration from one of the top schools in the country, led a 50 person national sales force, had profit and loss responsibility for a $15 million dollar business unit, worked to buy and start companies and pulled money out of my personal savings account to make payroll.  I intimately understand the challenges of starting and growing a business.

I believe city government can be a great partner to businesses by making strategic investments that lower transaction costs and improves the skills of our workforce.  That means:

• Investing in all forms of transportation,
• Partnering with our K-12 schools and higher education institutions and supporting apprenticeship training,
• Streamlining permitting, and
• Making sure our citizens have access to quality high speed internet access at an affordable price.
