Following a long career with my family's furniture business, most recently as CEO, I have retired. During my career, I enjoyed the ability to contribute to the local and national business community through my work on various boards, including the North American Home Furnishing Association, Pioneer Square Preservation Board and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Seattle.

      I would love to continue my involvement by providing my time and expertise as a board member, mentor and/or advisor to individuals or companies who could benefit from my experience. I feel my greatest strength is my ability to work with all levels, from staff to fellow board members. I feel I can bring a unique perspective with vast years of experience. I truly believe my contribution can make a difference.

      Skills: Buying, Selling, Design, P&L, Management, Warehouse/Deliveries, Real Estate, Construction, Negotiating Union Contracts, Display, Board Relations,Leadership, Board Engagement, Finance.
