Please explain any employment experience, board /committee experience, and /or community volunteer experience
relative to the board /committee applying for.
I was on the board of St Paul's Catholic School for a period of six years which dealt with a budget of over $1.5
million. I was president for three of the years leading a board of five other persons. I was also the treasurer and
board member of L'Arche Harbor House which is comprised of Christ centered homes for the mentally and
physically disabled adults. For the last 34 years, I had been administering and enforcing the tax laws of this country
as an attorney /manager for the Office of Chief Counsel —IRS by providing the necessary legal advice to IRS agents. I
led and reviewed a group of seven attorneys. As of January 1, 2011, I retired from the Office of Chief Counsel -IRS.
I plan to continue consulting in the Federal tax area. As a result of these experiences, I think I have a strong
background in law enforcement and finances.
Please provide a brief explanation of your interest or any special qualifications you have in this field and your reasons
for wishing to be appointed to this board /committee.
See above for some qualifications. It has been at least 6 years since I was on a community board or committee and I
want to again serve my community in this way. I believe I have the background for law enforcement and finances
from my experiences as an attorney with the Office of Chief Counsel and from my prior board experiences.
Additionally, I want to become more familiar with our city government and its operation as I, at some future date,
may consider running for Commissioner of Atlantic Beach..
