About Me
I have lived in Truckee for 22 years. My husband Dean and I have owned and operated the Pour House wine shop downtown for over 13 years. We have two children, one at Truckee High, the other at Alder Creek Middle School. In other words, I am as invested in this community as it is possible to be.
I graduated in 1993 with a BA from Boston College. My very first job out of school was as camping guide crisscrossing our country and I was stunned by its beauty and diversity. I have spent the past 25 years trying to live a life that values and protects our incredible resources.
Power systems are an obvious means to that end. I worked for a small wind energy startup here in Truckee called TenderLand Power. Later, I served on the Conservation Committee that was formed by the PUD after our community rejected entering into a 50 year coal contract. I have followed local and national energy policy since that time.
