As Director I’ll work to preserve groundwater quality and ensure good stewardship of this precious natural resource for the greater good of Tri-Valley residents, while upholding the stated Mission, Vision and Values of Zone 7. As a long-time resident with extensive experience in contaminant hydrogeology, I’m especially concerned about our PFAS contamination. I’ve worked with other experts to question and research plans for new wells that have potential to further spread PFAS.
As a professional licensed Geologist and Hydrogeologist with >40 years experience, I’m well qualified to serve as Zone 7 Director. I earned my B.S. degree from Penn State in Geosciences (Geology & Geochemistry) and completed related graduate-level work at Colorado School of Mines and UC Berkeley. I’ve worked in industry and consulting as a geologist, hydrogeologist, project manager and group manager. I’ve been a Pleasanton resident since 1988, living alongside Arroyo Del Valle since 1999. I led an annual Earth Day creek cleanup and served as my HOA’s Board president. I worked with the City of Pleasanton and Zone 7 to re-build an HOA low-water crossing of the Arroyo, part of the City’s trail system. I started a petition and worked with neighbors to establish a train Quiet Zone for Pleasanton.
