Meet Chris
With over 25 years of leadership experience in banking and customer service, I bring a proven track record in financial stewardship, strategic decision-making, and community engagement. I understand the importance of listening deeply, asking thoughtful questions, and using data-driven insights to make decisions that truly reflect the needs and values of Issaquah’s residents. My expertise enables me to break down complex budgets, scrutinize spending, and ensure that every dollar of city resources is invested wisely and transparently to support our growing community.
Since 2020, I have proudly served Issaquah in several impactful roles:
Chair of Issaquah’s Economic Vitality Commission, guiding local economic growth initiatives
Treasurer and Board Trustee for the Issaquah Highlands Council, fostering vibrant neighborhood leadership
Vice Chair of the Issaquah Strategic Plan Task Force (appointed in 2024), helping shape our city’s long-term vision
Board Member of the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah, supporting community service and youth programs
Community Branch Manager for Harborstone Credit Union, serving neighbors right here in Issaquah
These experiences have deepened my insight into our city’s unique opportunities and challenges. More importantly, they have reinforced my conviction that strong leadership is rooted in active listening, transparent communication, and a genuine commitment to showing up for the people you serve.
I am passionate about embracing innovation and sustainability to create a resilient Issaquah that meets the needs of today and tomorrow. My goal is to be a City Council member who listens to all voices—across neighborhoods, backgrounds, and generations—and brings people together to solve challenges collaboratively.
I welcome your ideas, feedback, and partnership as we work to build the Issaquah we all want to see. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and ensure our city remains a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.
Let’s keep Issaquah thriving—together.
