Audit Committee Member (Candidate for Board of Directors)
My wife and I proudly began our membership at iQ Credit Union back in 2002. I prioritize protecting and safeguarding member assets by serving iQ Credit Union on committees such as the Policy, Information Security, Nominating and Supervisory/Audit Committees since 2008. I maintain designations as a Certified Credit Union Supervisory Committee (CCUSC) member and a Certified Credit Union Board (CCUB) member from the Credit Union National Association (CUNA). In addition, I have a bachelor's degree in Mathematics & Military Science from Gonzaga University.
My background in public service includes Public Works, Risk Management, Emergency Management and Human Resources. I have served in the Washington Army National Guard and United States Army for combination of 11 years earning the rank of Captain and serving as a Company Commander. Currently, I am employed by the city of Long Beach, WA, serving as their Public Works Director.
Throughout my 11 years serving on the iQ Audit Committee, I am engaged in both the historical credit union principle of "people helping people", as well as iQ's operating principles. As a potential board member, I will continue to serve assuring the safety and soundness of iQ. The responsibility of the board to provide strategic vision for the current and future position of iQ Credit Union is paramount during these financially unstable times. I seek your continued support to serve as a representative member on the Board of Directors. |

I am a Sr. Risk Manager in Cybersecurity at Microsoft. With more than 12 years working in Compliance, Risk Management, and Cybersecurity, I have developed my skills in identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risks as a member of Microsoft's global Capacity, Supply Chain & Provisioning team. This includes leading security compliance and resiliency assessments for our suppliers with teams across the globe.
Since 2011, I've been a member of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) and have certification as a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA). I also served on the board of directors for the Oregon ISACA branch as a Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer. Volunteering locally is important to me, and for 10 years I participated with the Clark County 4-H programs mentoring youth in beekeeping and raising sheep. I retired from the Air Force in 2009 with 22 years of service, including four years as a First Sergeant advising squadron commanders at the Washington Air National Guard and while deployed to the Middle East. After retirement, I volunteered to train Army National Guard members in cybersecurity by planning and executing annual cyber incident response training events such as ransomware, identity theft, and election tampering.
All my experiences involve working with a diversity of people and a multitude of cultures from around the world. The common thread of my experience requires the ability to listen and advise to find consensus and solutions within diverse groups and opinions. I appreciate your consideration electing me to the iQ Credit Union Audit Committee. |

I am pleased to submit my application for consideration for a position on the Audit Committee for iQ Credit Union. I have been a member of iQ Credit Union for 20 years and in that time my wife and I have started a family, immersed ourselves in this community, and, along with our three children ages 10, 13 and 15, have been exploring all that Clark County has to offer.
I am excited by the opportunity to join the Audit Committee because I feel strongly about the value iQ brings to the community and I believe I can be a valuable asset given my professional experience.
I recognize that credit unions offer a vital opportunity to provide financial services to the communities they serve in a fair and equitable manner. For this reason, it is crucial that iQ Credit Union continue to fulfill their promise of accessibility, community connection, superior service, and security. As a member of the Audit Committee, I would support the leadership and staff in charting a healthy and innovative course, as well as provide honest feedback and offer accountability in all aspects of those commitments.
Professionally, I am currently the Sr. Director of Treasury for Standard Insurance Company. My areas of expertise include capital planning, cash forecasting, debt structuring, payments, bank relationship management and corporate governance. My career has provided me with extensive experience in leadership, employee development, strategic planning and budgeting as well as exposure to the various areas of import that iQCU has identified as critical to their success.
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to the opportunity to serve in any capacity. |
