As a climate scientist specializing in coastal water resources, I’ve worked for decades to bring our resource-threatened community a new drought-proof, safe, sustainable water supply. Other efforts have failed while our rivers dry. With climate change predicting mega-droughts, this is truly our last chance to prevent saltwater intrusion and maintain highest water quality.

I’m proud to place my Ph.D. in Hydroclimatology in the service of the Soquel Creek Water District, headed by an accomplished team of scientists, environmentalists and practical professionals who have trusted me as current President of the Board of Directors. Previously, I was appointed twice by the Governor and elected Chairperson of our California Regional Water Quality Control Board. From owning a business to volunteering on the Save Our Shores Technical Advisory Committee, my skill is using substantial science to provide the most public good within budget constraints.

I have specialized training, but I’m also a customer like you. The pandemic has made us more aware of water’s place in our health, but affordability is critical now, too. Our Soquel Creek Water District must act quickly to use hard-won millions of dollars in grants and loans with strict time limits to construct PureWater Soquel. I thank you for your community spirit and beg for your support to conquer a problem that’s still fixable.
