Executive Biography:

The Mission Statement of the Carmel Area Wastewater District (CAWD) is a well-thought out expression of the district’s charge, focus and stewardship, and informs my service on the Board of Directors, where it states: “The Carmel Area Wastewater District is a special district dedicated to the protection of the public health and the environment through the cost effective collection and treatment of wastewater and the return of clean water to the environment.”

After growing up in the San Joaquin Valley, I moved to Carmel in 1971 to teach school; then attended law school at Hastings College of the Law, after which I practiced law for over 20 years before becoming a Real Estate Broker.

I have served on several local community organizations and government committees, including being a President of the Carmel Residents Association, Citizens Advisory Committee to the Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC), Citizens Advisory Committee to County Service Area 25 (CSA25), and on the Board of Directors of the Carmel Valley Townhouse Association.

I look forward to working with our experienced Board of Directors and devoted CAWD staff in facing the challenges and opportunities ahead for the wastewater district. All CAWD projects are available to view on this website.
