We are season pass holders for the Merced Zoological Society.

My son loves the monkeys and the goats in the petting zoo. :) As a parent to a young son it is important to

Thank you for your consideration.

Interests & Experiences
Tell us about yourself, and why you are applying for this particular Board or Commission:

I moved to Merced to be close to Yosemite national park, and was pretty surprised to learn about the lack of any recreational activities to do outdoors in/around Merced. I'm interested in getting involved in this committee because I want to learn more about how city governance works, and how Merced could attract more young people like myself who want to take advantage of our proximity to recreation that Merced has to offer.

Please list your current employer and relevant volunteer experience.

What is your understanding of the roles and responsibilities of this Board or Commission? As I understand, this role sits on an advisory board for the city council that can make recommendations referring to budgeting of local parks/events that will best benefit the people in Merced.

Do you have experience or special knowledge pertaining to this Board or Commission? I worked in outdoor recreation as a rock climbing guide during my summers in college, and some weekends while taking classes. Not especially relevant, but I also have a passion for being outside in the mountains, and enjoy skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, and hiking.

Any other comments you would like to add that may assist the City Council in their decision?
I enjoy sharing a passion of the outdoors with others, and would like to help find ways to do that in Merced.
