Personal

I am married, and have two school-age children. My hobbies include remodeling my home, fine woodworking, and sailing. In my woodworking and other endeavors, I strive for a high level of craftsmanship. I bicycle, swim, and run to stay fit.

I'm currently a member of the School Commission at St. John Catholic School in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. I chair the Fair Share Tuition committee. http://www.st-johnschool.org/

I was President of the St. Vincent de Paul conference at my church from 2002 to 2004. SVdP is a charitable organization that offers food, clothing, and housing assistance. In a typical year, our volunteers make over 200 home visits, and distribute $22k in aid. While a member of SVdP, I created a program called Helping Hands in which volunteers assemble and sell small envelopes containing coupons for food, clothing, and bus transportation. Helping Hands envelopes give a person a ready, positive response to solicitations from street people. To date (March 2005), more than $15k in assistance has been distributed through Helping Hands.
