- "For me, the campaign to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley is a conversation about values. Absolutely a conversation informed by facts and certainly guided by consensus, but ultimately it is a conversation about whether we as a society will value the earth by accepting responsibility for healing it. Success with restoring Hetch Hetchy will infuse environmental restoration projects the world over with a clear sense that anything is possible."
- Mikes advocacy and political activism spans over 25 years which has allowed him to hone the strategic skills necessary to lead Restore Hetch Hetchy. He has successfully lobbied Congress to stand up to the powerful trucking industry, he's managed two statewide political campaigns in California and is a former senior advisor to the Democratic National Committee. Additionally, Mike's experience as the executive leader of numerous non-profit organizations has allowed him to develop significant fundraising, organizational development, financial management and marketing skills that should prove invaluable to the Hetch Hetchy restoration effort.
- Mike lives in San Francisco, serves as the President of the Board of Directors and is active in local politics.
