LRAPA APPLICATION
1. What experiences/ training/ qualifications do you have for this particular board/
commission / committee?
During my professional career I worked with student groups, business organizations, as well as
government organizations. I testified before the State Legislative Committee concerning
proposed new financial crimes and identity theft laws. l provided training to the Law
Enforcement community at the local, state, and federal level. I was also involved in the
development of operational and training procedures. These experiences have taught me the
value of teamwork, listening to others, and the ability to understand government codes,
procedures, and laws. I'm a person who likes to research an issue and follow the science
wherever it leads me.
Currently I'm a member of the Pacific Cascade Federal Credit Union Board of Director's. This
position requires me to review, understand, and vote on policy recommendations, monitor
compliance with financial regulations, spending, loans, and some limited personnel matters. As
a board member, I have a duty to the credit union members that the organization is fiscally
sound. I see many similar duties and responsibilities with the two boards.
2. What specific contribution do you hope to make?
In 20111 was diagnosed with a lung disease which was determined to be caused by my
exposure to asbestos while serving in the US Navy. This disease caused my retirement and
continues to affect my daily life. The Veterans Administration lists me as 100% disabled due to
this exposure. Clean air is essential to those with respiratory issues. 1 started relying on LRAPA
shortly after my diagnoses for accurate information on air quality. I check the LRAPA website
several times a week. I wish to bring my experiences to the board and be a voice for those like
me and the community at large. I would like to ensure clean air for future generations.
3. Briefly describe your involvement in relevant community groups and activities.
Following my retirement, I volunteered as a Veteran's Service Officer (VSO) at the local VFW
Post #3965. Working within the local government during my professional career provided me
with the tools to understanding Veteran's Administration (VA) codes, policies, and case law
related to disability claims filed by veterans. In one such case, I was able to gather enough
evidence to cause the VA to reverse its previous denial of a veteran's disability claim. This case
later caused the VA to grant the claims of hundreds of veterans who served during the Vietnam
Attachment 2, Page 3 of 4
War. This ties into the LRAPA position well due to my ability to research and understand
government codes and polices related to air quality. I also take great pride in helping others and
I wish to continue helping others. Due to personal reasons I resigned from this position in 2018.

Bill:
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you for your outstanding performance and tireless
effort as Rescue 21 Project Resident office (PRO) Alaska's Environmental Protection Specialist
from May 2009 through July 2011.
In short order, you quickly established a professional work ethic and immersed yourself in the
business at hand by developing environmental review plans for now R21 planned remote sites
within Glacier Bay National Park and Prescrvc, on Kodiak Island, and on the Duffield Peninsula
and vigorously pursued the National Environmental Policy Act (NIEPA) process for these sites.
This effort formally established guidelines fur R21 FRO Alaska on which all other remote site
Environmental Assessments (l3A) will be governed. Your work resulted is completed EA and
FONSI actions for sites at Middle Cape, Twin Peaks, and Glacier Bay (Deception .Hills) in 2010
and completed CA.TEX processes for Rescue 21 PRO Sevtcsdale sites at Rota, Mt. Alutom and
Merizo by April 2011. Other CATP-Xs that you completed in association with R&D testing by R21
PRO Alaska were for the Dillinghamfl'uklung microwave testing, the Sharatin wind generator
installation, the Cape Pawhaw, 5itkinak Island and Duke Island wind generator replacements, as
well as the removal of I 1 5ecnrp Passive Automatic Identification System sites for the NAIS
program.
In addition to your R21 PRO Alaska efforts, you were able to convince General Dynamics that it
was in their best interests to start NEPA processes early in their site planning programs and also
convince R21 PRO Scottsdale that the only Legal way to conduct the N EPA process for their new
Saipan site was tlu'ough an Environmental Axsessmenl, Your "can -V' spirit and expertise was
vital to all of our mission successes.
Your sense of teamwork and work ethic are inspirational, and your willingness to go above and
beyond to assist another writ demonstrates your stellar support of the Team Coast Guard concept.
Thank you on behalf of Rescue 21 PRO Alaska and the Rescue 21 Project, Bravo Zulu!
