My primary interest is in residential landscape architecture.

• I would like to positively affect the lives of many people.
• I would like to help one person at a time to become more water-wise, which involves water retention, water capture and use of gray water.
• I will advocate the use of drought tolerant plants and California native plants and will try to make them more common throughout California as a whole, but particularly within our cities.
• On a larger scale, I would like to be part of any restoration project, such as the de-channelization of the Los Angeles River. Through the use of native plants, I would like to improve life for animals as well as plants within the ecosystem.

I also believe in being forward thinking. Companies like Google may not seem to have a relationship to Landscape Architecture but considering they may have an effect on the means of transport, commerce and communication that we interact with on our day to day lives, there is a definite place for the Landscape Architect in a corporation such as Google. This could involve the management of autonomous cars as well as drones. It could also affect such things as the placement of cell phone towers.

Finally, I would like to have some positive effect in community service. I believe there is a place for more open space, more public gardens and public services within our cities. I would like to provide places of shelter and safety for our homeless and potentially a path toward a more migratory society as a whole.  I want to provide services such as bath houses, internet kiosks, laundry rooms and so on to any traveler.  Anything to do with the development of our California trail system would be of interest to me such as the Pacific Crest Trail or the California Coastal trail.
