ABOUT

Now having worked in the GM role at Oxford Hotel for 2 years, I'm familiar with the downtown area and businesses that make up Bend. I feel that my involvement in the DBBA brings experience in the tourism industry, budgeting, forecasting, and general operations. I would also represent one of, if not the largest EID contributor in the DBBA from the perspective of both business operator and on behalf of my owners.

Cleanliness, diverse business mix, walkability

WHAT ARE DOWNTOWN’S THREE GREATEST OPPORTUNITIES?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE ON THE DBBA BOARD OF DIRECTORS?

Better involvement to support the future growth of all downtown businesses, and community involvement to better know the thoughts and goals of downtown business owners and operators.
