Region 2

Bio: I have been the Target Zero Manager for 10 years.  I grew up in Grays Harbor and come from a family of law enforcement.  My father, a retired police lieutenant was my predecessor.   He built a very successful program with strong ties to local police agencies and the community.  I was honored when our Sheriff appointed me to continue building our local traffic safety program.  I have 2 children and enjoy family time, hiking and our 2 dogs.

Traffic safety priorities for region: Region 2 prioritizes DUI and distracted driving as the leading traffic safety issues locally.  There is also a strong focus on seatbelt use, child passenger safety and boating safety through community outreach, education, and enforcement.
