Hello - While I've enjoyed a career in banking, most recently as a small business portfolio manager for Beneficial State Bank for the past 10 years, my pursuits outside of work are far more interesting. I'm engaged in various community activities such as: Rotary, serving on United Cerebral Palsy Oregon Board since 2009 and Co-Chair of Oregon Self Advocacy Coalition's Health Care Committee. My philosophy is “Cerebral Palsy has been part of my life since day one, providing a certain amount of richness to embrace and a unique perspective to live from. Being moderately affected by physical limitations, I structure my life to include regular low impact exercise, such as: urban walking & hiking, swimming and riding a recumbent trike as my primary mode of transportation. By realizing first-hand the positive impact exercise and a healthy diet has, I would like to see other people with disabilities incorporate these practices with greater ease.
