I am the newest TAO board member, having joined in early 2006.  I was a teacher at North Tahoe Middle School for many years, where I earned the Linda Brown Fellows award in 2003.  I made the difficult decision to leave teaching in 2004 because of the growing success and time demands of my contracting business.  Joining the board of TAO is my way to continue sharing my passion for kids and the outdoors.

In my free time, I enjoy doing adventure/endurance races all over the world.  I look forward to planning outdoor events for the kids and for TAO fundraisers.
