City of Chanhassen
Letter of interest - Chanhassen Planning Commission
I am interested in taking the recently planning commissioner position. My resume is attached for a more
detailed description of my e:x.periences, qualifications and history.
From the experiences of my many moves throughout my career and during my 9 years in the city of
Chanhassen, I can really appreciate the excellent leadership and high standards this city represents and has
maintained for its citizens. This only comes with visionary leadership that is also closely involved and
understands what is n.eeded by the community and its citizens. The reason I am seeking this position is to
continue this tradition of excellent leadership. further citizen participation in local government, and continue
to make Chanhassen the great city it is and has b~en recognized for over the 'years. My key area of interest as
part of the planning commission is to maintain the proper balance between development, the citizens and
community needs and the environment.
My career in the private sector has given me the many experiences needeq to excel in this position. I have
been involved with business development as a technology leader in the companies I have been employed by.
including Dow Chemical, Cargill and now NatureWorks ~LC. I have worked with local governments in
India, Japan. Indonesia, Thailand, and China trying to find the best fit for the businesses and technologies I
represented. Through t~ese experiences I have seen the negative impact that h.appens when government
leadership does not use long term community planning; congestion, traffic, safety issues, pollution, and
business investment non~existant. I have also seen the positive things that happen when a government does
good long term community planning; efficient traffic patterns, low environmental impact, safety and strong
business investment Along with oPPOltunities to work with government organizations, I have had many
leadership positions throughout my career which have taught me how to manage responsibilities and goals and
priorities toward an overall objective. These opportunities have resulted in many different successes in my
career but the one that I believe really demonstrates it is when Cargill approached Dow Chemical and said
they have a technology to produce a biodegradable plastic from corn. Dow's leadership out of the 45,000+
people in the company picked me to go represent Dow in this new to the world business opportunity. I was
the technology leader as Dow and Cargill worked to make this wonderful new product a reality. It has grown
from that initial meeting between these two companies to a multi-million dollar sustainable business for
Cargill and I have been instrumental to the success this business has experien.ced.
I have taken an active role in the Chanhassen government and community. r participated jn the Lotus Lake
No-Wake Committee, I am president of the Lotus Lake Clean Water Organ.ization. Vice President of the Lotus
lake Home Owners Association and I have been recently appointed to the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek
Watershed District Citizen Advisory committee. All these organizations are attempting to improve the current
standards through community and government involvement, working together for the continuous
improvements wanted by the citizens and community of Chanhassen.
If appointed to the vacancy I know I will be a positive influence for the city to continue its leadership among
cities, setting the example of how to best meet community needs through the proper balance of development,
and the environment.
