I started working for McCall Parks & Recreation as the recreation supervisor in 2009. Since then I worked as the Parks Superintendent, City Arborist, and since 2017 as the Department Director. Why stay with McCall Parks and Recreation? Because of the amazing staff, rewarding projects, and programs! It is important to want to go to work every day and I can honestly say I work with a dynamic and fun team that makes this a reality. It is also my hope that everyone who lives in and visits McCall enjoys their experience using our facilities, our pathways, and ou programs. The staff of this department brings great energy, passion, and skill sets to work every day, and this makes McCall Parks and Recreation a place I love to work, and McCall a place I love to live and raise my family.
