+
+## How I got involved with Kubernetes...
+
+In 2015, I worked at a startup that was just starting to dip their toes into containerization. We wanted to find a platform that was extensible, supportable, and had a high rate of community adoption. 
+
+Enter Kubernetes. 
+
+I drove the initiative to rebuild our infrastructure on Kubernetes, primarily using CoreOS tooling.
+
+Fast-forward a few years to my tenure at CoreOS. It was my first time directly contributing to open source technology.
+
+I'm hooked now. I'm so enraptured with you, the community, that makes this project so vibrant and successful.
+
+## How I serve the community...
+
+In all I do, I try my best to find ways to improve the project through understanding and elucidating our governance principles.
+
+Currently, I serve as:
+- Product Management Chair
+- Features Lead for the Kubernetes 1.12 Release Team
+- SIG Azure Chair
+
+I also shadowed the Features role for the Kubernetes 1.11 release cycle.
+
+## What I plan to do as a Steering Committee member...
+
+- Strive to continue removing friction from the contribution process, especially for new contributors
+- Mature processes that increase our reviewer / approver base
+- Drive deeper adoption of the [KEP] process project-wide
+- Nurture efforts that support underrepresented / marginalized groups in technology
+
+## Where I work...
+
+Red Hat, with a CoreOS heart.
+

+
+### Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm humbled and honored to be considered for Steering Committee! :)
