Why the Parks Foundation? I am a firm believer that outdoor experiences enhance environmental outcomes, and serve the physical, and mental well-being of individuals and the community as a whole. I consistently & actively encourage others to ‘get outside’ – explore and connect with nature.

Favorite park? I love going to Clark County parks with my kiddos for sports, exercise, relaxation, and fun! Vancouver Lake Regional Park holds a special place in my heart – I ran my first triathlon there and it remains my favorite run. The view at the halfway point is spectacular!
