Tell us a little about yourself. You can include your personal background, family, outside interests that are important to who you are as a person and a candidate.
I come from a background in technology–I started two businesses and I am inherently curious about technology and people.
I love spending time playing golf–even in the winter, walking, exercising, reading and looking for what’s next.
Why are you running for Town Meeting?
I care that our seniors are not able to enjoy Lexington and I am concerned about the increased cost of living in town. After paying taxes and contributing to the workings of town, it is important that seniors should feel at home in the town they helped create.
I believe our town needs to align with the values we choose as a town.
How has your past experience — whether in your professional life, elected office, or as a community leader — prepared you for a role in Town Meeting?
I bring people together, listen, and find solutions to difficult problems. In the process, I work to find the right ensuring technology to enable the solution.
What is the most important issue in this election to you personally, and what ideas do you have about how to address this issue?
We–as a town–are developing faster that we need to and the cost basis is going higher. In the process, it makes seniors leave, new families join and it’s a vicious cycle.
We need to put a soft cap on giving developers free rein to build more apartments. Meet the MBTA zoning to what the state needs. Evaluate how things go over for three years and then act again.
This is inherent with people and the various values we cherish.
We first agree to a common set of values and base our solutions and processes on these values.
We live in a historic town. Our macro environment has unsettling times.
Being business-oriented in these times to ensure preservation of the community is important.
