Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />PHONE: (Home) <br />OCCUPATION <br /> <br />Venture Manager <br /> <br />(Work) <br />EMPLOYER Medtronic, Inc. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU LIVED IN ELK RIVER? <br /> <br />One year <br /> <br />STATEMENT OF INTEREST: <br /> <br />Please explain why you would like to serve on the board or <br />commission selected above? <br /> <br />I choose to take an active role in the future of our community and feel the Planning <br />Commission is an excellent way to get involved on a voluntary basis. My wife and I chose <br />Elk River as our permanent home to raise a family. Originally from Willmar, I value the <br />sense of community Elk River offers. I also recognize the mounting pressures created by the <br />continuing growth of the Twin Cities Metro Area as many others also choose the quality of <br />life available in the Elk River community. A balance must be established between inevitable <br />growth and maintaining the sense of community that attracts others. <br />EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: <br /> <br />Describe your educational and professional experience or skills <br />which qualify you to serve on this board or commission. <br /> <br />I have a Bachelors of Chemical Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota and a <br />Masters of Management degree from the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at <br />Northwestern University, where my majors included Strategic Management and Finance. I <br />have extensive work experience in Ventures Planning and Opportunity Assessment of New <br />Businesses. I am involved in long range planning of Medtronic's Businesses, hiring of <br />. external consultants to review specific issues, and performing cost and valuation analyses of <br />new projects. As a Venture Manager, I am responsible for creating vision for programs <br />established to develop therapies for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Lou Gehrig's <br />disease, both among an internal development team and with our Joint Venture partners. <br /> <br />P.O.
