ABOUT ME
I retired from elected public service in Yountville, CA, in December of 2022, after serving 12 years as Mayor and 18 years total on the Yountville Town Council.
I led the Town of Yountville through significant economic success, business development and investments in infrastructure, municipal facilities
and arts and recreational programs. While managing impacts related to a national recession, major
wildfires, drought, the COVID-19 pandemic, and
other challenges, the Town Council adopted balanced budgets and increased reserve funds every year
under my three terms as Mayor.
Services
I provide experience in communications, government policy, community relations and strategic advocacy utilizing the knowledge, policy making and networking I developed during my nearly two decades of elected public service. My consulting services are focused in the wine industry, hospitality, wildfire protection, economic development, and the political landscape in Napa County.
Communications & Strategy
I will help create and deliver your written and verbal messaging to media outlets, governmental agencies, stakeholder groups, and the public.
Public Policy & Advocacy
Following nearly two decades of elected leadership, I offer a knowledgeable perspective on how to navigate the complex legislative process and advocate effectively on your behalf.
Government & Community Relations
Engaging my network and experience from participation in numerous local, county, regional, state, and national agencies, and organizations, I will help connect you with decision makers, communicate your objectives, and set you up for success.
