"My family and I have lived in Reston since 2001. My experience with the RA is probably just like the
average RA Member’s. I’ve asked its blessing in buying, selling, and improving my homes. I’ve been
dragged before the Design Review Board to straighten a few things out. Two sons were RA lifeguards. I
am an FCPS substitute teacher and a Fairfax Dept of Family Services Volunteer.
Mainly, though, I am a proud bureaucrat. I know from experience that cooperative bureaucracy is
greater than the sum of its parts. As a Foreign Service Officer for over three decades, my own specific
work fit the big picture of representing our country and advancing our national interest in Washington
or at U.S. embassies abroad. When I then ran two embassies, it was my job to forge consensus among
different USG agencies to promote common policy.
I’m the bureaucrat you’re looking for"
How can I not vote for this candidate for the Reston Association Board? Both a sense of humor and a proud bureaucrat.
