My wife and I moved to Portland in 2000 from New York. We have been residents of the Pearl District since 2004. I worked for Nike for 18 years in both Beaverton and Europe. I retired in the Fall of 2017 after holding several roles including sales and planning, global customer development and general management. Prior to moving to the West Coast, I worked in the fashion industry in NYC. I’ve been active in Portland volunteering with Lift Up, a community food bank, the Dove Lewis PACTT program (Portland Area Canine Therapy Teams), and the PDNA foot patrol. I also have served on the Board of Park Place Condos, and am presently involved in committee work for our association.
