Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
BS / MS / PhD degrees from Texas Tech University in Agronomy (soils & crops) followed by
nearly 40 years of applied research and regulatory affairs in agriculture have made me aware of
the critical need to properly manage water resources.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
Water resources (availability, supply, conservation, reclaimation) are a preeminent issue for all
society even now and will become moreso in the future. I hope my technical background will be
of use to OWASA.

Supplemental Questions:
Orange Water & Sewer Authority Board of Directors
Please list /explain your experience, either professionally and /or from other
boards /commissions that you have in the areas of budget, personnel, and management.
Professionally, my positions involved budgetary responsibility (up to $2 M annually) and
management of direct reporting personnel (up to 14). 1 am aware of the needs for planning,
implementation, and oversight of these resources while maintaining focus on the tasks assigned.
In addition to the experience listed in the question above, please list the work /volunteer
experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board.
University and industry work in soils, crops, regulatory affairs (company representative with
EPA,OPP). Over the years, I have worked with irrigation so am conversant with water use in
agriculture.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
Provision for supply, delivery and stewardship of water resources for Orange County. I have no
specific items to accomplish, but do have an interest in water reuse as a means of minimizing
impact on available resources.
What is OWASA's role in growth /development issues?
I think OWASA works within the larger needs of county and its municipalities. Therein the
provision, delivery and stewardship of water resources is the specific perview of OWASA.
Where growth and development is under consideration of the various branches of county and
municipal government, OWASA would be active in helping to implement those items having to
do with water.
Other Comments:
I would like to serve on the OWASA board as water availability, use and quality are
paramount to the county's future. I suggest my technical background in agriculture will
allow me to quickly become knowledgeable on local issues and challenges. STAFF
