Fairview Park Steering Committee
Q3
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached.

I am a father of 2, and along with my wife, we use the park regularly for all the available regular, outdoor activities as well as the train rides, and concerts. We've been in the area for almost 10 years, have invested in a home, and plan to be around for a long time. This opportunity is a good way to use my professional training to help out in the community.

Professionally, let's start at the beginning:

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame, School of Architecture.

Afterward, I lived in Seattle, WA and worked in Architecture, with projects focusing on historic preservation /restoration, master planning, and environmental design. After moving to Orange County, I became the director of construction for a local development and property management firm. My goal in doing this was was to take my Architectural knowledge and use it to learn more about the development and construction side of the world. In both of these positions, I spent a lot of time interfacing with city planners, officials, and staff, as well as organizing public outreach.

Q4
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? Finding new ways to balance preservation with public access/need.

Continued outreach to opportunities to host local events.

Clarity to public on why paths are closed with information on duration. # 86

First and foremost, I am an avid runner and I find myself in Fairview Park every week as I live nearby. I am a small business owner in Costa Mesa and I also have over a decade of experience in non-profit work as well, so I know what it means to articulate an important message and get people behind a movement.

I want to ensure that this rare open space park is preserved and enjoyed by the public. I grew up down the street from Fairview park and still visit it often these days. I think it is important to have a diverse group of people as members of the Fairview Park Steering Committee. I previously served on the City of Costa Mesa’s Parks and Recs Commission, that opportunity has given me a good understanding of Costa Mesa’s parks and open space and the need to preserve Fairview Park for future generations to enjoy.

Q4
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? As a member of the steering committee I would be focused on learning as much as possible about the current uses of the park and any planned/future projects or uses. I think it’s important that Costa Mesa residents are able to enjoy this wonderful space, I’d like to ensure that we explore and thoroughly discuss all opportunities for the park, without conversation our park will not be the best it can be.

Q3
Indicate why you wish to serve on this Committee/Commission. Provide any experience or qualifications you may possess that you think would be beneficial to this Committee/Commission. A resume (optional) may be attached.

I have been a user of the park since the late 1990’s. A resident of Costa Mesa, just south of the Fairview Park (Continental Ave) since 2012. I voted for Measure AA in 2016 and desire to see the park endure. I am a father of two small boys that love Costa Mesa parks, and I especially care for preserving open spaces for our future generations to use, as well as ensuring safe places for all of our community to benefit from. I would like to share my time supporting this committee in order to give back to the community.

I am a working professional with 15 years of experience in business operations, including specific focus on the disciplines of engineering, accounting, human resources, quality assurance, information technology, and facilities/maintenance.

Q4
As a Committee/Commission member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? I am interested in helping support park activities and restoration work. I have participated in over 6 of the last 8 Fairview Park restoration events in 2022 and have encouraged other members of the community to participate as well. I am a big believer in dialogue and understanding the perspectives of others. I would like to support general improvements to the park especially activities supported by community volunteers. Specifically, supporting kiosk upgrade projects and community events at the park come to mind. By enabling community engagement at the park, the community themselves will help ensure the success of the park, and possibly grow engagement in other city activities. I am interested in pushing forward a monthly event at the park that brings together the community with the goal of building understanding through dialogue about the different uses of the park. # 83
