I was drawn to the Riverscape board by the Master Plan event last year.  It was exciting to see what is possible for the riverfront.  I have visited and heard of other cities that have a thriving riverfront, and would love to see that in Terredise.  Serving as Treasurer is a great opportunity and a way for me to help. Professionally, I run a Wealth Management Firm with Northwestern Mutual where our goal is to help people define, create, and enjoy financial independence.
