Hello Lincoln, It is with great enthusiasm that I'm announcing my plans to re-run for a seat on the Parks and Recreation Committee for a three year term in March.
Over the past 3 years I've been able to meet and get to know many Lincoln residents through the Parks and Recreation Committee. During my tenure we hired a new Director, Jessica Downing, and worked through how to manage programming and events with the onset and continuation of the pandemic. I'm pleased to report our enrollment numbers today are back to pre-pandemic levels. The town ice rink has been a particular joy to work on and see the community enjoy. I look forward to getting it up and running again this year in front of the Pierce House, weather permitting. For those I've not yet met, my family and I moved to Lincoln six years ago and love it here. Our two boys (11th grader at LS and an 8th grader at LPS) have played baseball, soccer, and basketball through the various leagues in town and continue to make good friends and good memories. My wife, Tris, and I play in the adult Co-Ed Softball League and have loved getting to know a wider netword of adults here in town. Many mornings you can find us walking or jogging the roads or trails throughout Lincoln with our dog, Gaia. You may also have seen some of my art in the Lincoln Art Show, put on by the Parks and Recreation Department every fall. Alongside Parks and Recreation, I am an at-large member and Co-Chair of IDEA, the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-Racism Committee. I feel there are synergies to being on both Committees to ensure that Lincoln is a welcoming, fun and engaging place for everyone. As an avid supporter of our school district’s participation in the METCO program and a member of the METCO Coordinating Committee, I love how our Parks and Recreation programming helps bring the entire Lincoln School community together through our wonderful Summer Camp offerings and other after-school programs. As past Co-Chair of the Lincoln Parent Teacher Organization (LPTO) I've been able to better get to know the Lincoln Schools and some of the needs of parents with school aged children. It's my goal to use that experience to help the Parks and Recreation Department continue to provide programming that serves this community well. Lastly, I volunteer regularly with the Council on Aging and Human Services Friday lunch program, and have greatly enjoyed meeting and getting to know those who both serve and attend. I have deeply enjoyed working as part of the Parks and Recreation Committee to date and hope to continue the work we’ve been doing to provide the greater Lincoln community with activities and programs that enable us to learn, grow and laugh together. I hope you will please consider voting for me on March 27th for the Parks and Recreation Committee.
