Born and raised in Oregon, I retired from being a systems analyst for state government in 5/2005 and moved to the Big Island where I soon created the first VHCA website and served as secretary from 12/2008 through 3/2010 and as treasurer from 4/2010 through 3/2015. Beginning 4/2015 until 6/2018, I contracted with VHCA to do the treasurer's duties except write checks and attend board meetings. Throughout my affiliation with the board, filing delinquent account liens was a major activity in which I participated and am taking pleasure is seeing them resolved. I am interested in performing what treasurer duties remain.
