With over 17 years as a Union Carpenter and growing up in a reputable Union Carpenter household I have dedicated my career to ensuring the strength of our Union by promoting strength in its members. Local 70 has some of the hardest working and highly skilled craftspeople in the Northwest and I am so proud of, not only the work we do, but who we are. I began to participate in a greater capacity in 2012 when I regrettably found myself saying “someone should…” and immediately replaced it with “I will…”In the last 7 years I have served as your Warden, 2 terms as your Delegate and am currently on my 2 term as your Trustee. I serve by diligently listening to our members needs and providing oversight, stewardship and balanced advice on how to handle our members money to ensure stability and a long prosperous future for Local 70.
