ANC Commissioner and Chairman, SMD 2F06
I have been a resident of Logan Circle for the past 13 years. In that time, I have seen a tremendous amount of change. And, I am sure that development and change will continue in our neighborhood as the 14th Street area continues to flourish and as businesses and residents continue to move to the 9th Street corridor and around the Washington Convention Center. As the commissioner representing the residents of Single Member District 2F06 on Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 2F, a primary goal of mine is to ensure that growth occurs in the right way and that transitions are fluid.
Growth and change are important to our great city, and to our neighborhood. As residents, our opinions about this change must be heard. The District of Columbia’s ANC structure is a vital conduit to voice opinions about the direction of our neighborhood. In the next few years, our ANC will consider a wide range of policies and programs affecting, not only our neighborhood, but our livelihood. These include matters of public safety; economic development; liquor license issues; housing regulations; recreational parks; zoning laws; sanitation; and traffic, parking, and street improvements. I want to make sure the residents of SMD 2F06 have a voice in these matters. Being an advocate for the community and encouraging residents to take an active role in our neighborhood is one of my top priorities. As your ANC commissioner, I am happy to be your spokesperson in the decision making process. I do my best to articulate your opinions.
I feel strongly that our ANC must be proactive in dealing with the development along 9th Street. This will be especially important as the Convention Center hotel is constructed. The same holds true for the O Street Market to the east and the old convention center site, at the south end of our ANC. We need to ensure that growth and change in these areas is positive and we must take every opportunity to influence the change so that it is acceptable to our community.
I take my commitment to serving our community very seriously. I am the chairman of the ANC’s Community Development Committee—the sub-committee responsible for reviewing and advising the ANC on new construction and renovation projects. I have also served on the board of the Logan Circle Community Association and its Historic Preservation Review Committee. Professionally, I work for the Federal Government, managing the Cyber Fraud & Financial Crimes Section of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). My experience includes positions as a banker, bank examiner, and banking policy analyst, but most importantly, my skills are in organizational management. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida.
I love the Logan Circle neighborhood. I have lived on both sides of the Circle—for two years in a condo in the 1400 block of Rhode Island Avenue and now for 11 years in our row house in the 900 block of P Street.
