+Hello Everyone!
+
+It has been my pleasure to serve the OpenStack community on the
+Technical Committee over the last two years, but I don't feel
+my work is done.
+
+I have been involved in OpenStack for about six years now and in
+that time I have picked up a variety of roles- the dirty jobs-
+that help keep our community healthy and moving forward. I think
+these roles, particularly those focused on bringing in new
+contributors, give me a valuable perspective that I want to
+continue to bring as a member of the Technical Committee.
+	      
+If re-elected I would also continue to keep our community
+collaborating with and connected to the Kubernetes community. We
+have knowledge to share with them just as they do with us and our
+communties integrate (and improve that integration) with each other
+technically as well. 
+
