I have been a resident of Albany for 39 years, and I think our community is better than ever. At various times in my tenure here, I have served on the the Planning & Zoning Commission, the Zoning Code Revision Committee, the Waterfront Committee, the EarthQuake Preparedness Program (EQPP), and various election campaigns.  I am presently a member of the Albany Community Foundation Board of Directors. My wife, Pat, was an Albany elementary teacher for her entire career.
