The Recorder's Office has recently upgraded our equipment and released our Indexes to our website, which is fantastic for folks looking for a copy of their deed recorded since 1999, or other public records. We have also just started E-recording, which increases the efficiency of the office, leaving more time to help the public.

Now, a brief questionnaire to help voters get to know you a bit better:

Age? 44

City of residence? Eureka

Where did you grow up? On a cattle ranch in Kneeland

How long have you lived in Humboldt County? My whole life, except during college.

Can you please provide a brief education history? I attended the University of Alaska, Fairbanks aimed at getting my Civil Engineering Degree. One of my favorite classes was the Land Surveying class. I moved back to our family Ranch to help my father after my sophomore year, which was the right move for me, as he passed away 9 months later in an accident. I furthered my education by getting my Surveying Certificate, where I still use some of those skills in my current career.

Can you please provide a brief work history? After earning my Survey Certificate, I landed a job as a Survey Tech at an Engineering firm. I worked there for a couple years, and when the owner retired, the business closed. So I found an indoor job at Humboldt Land Title Co., where I spent 17 years working my way up to become a Title Officer. Other job titles I held there included Title Searcher, Marketer, & Operations Assistant — where I got to train new employees, assist with HR and work very long hours. When the assets of the employee-owned Title Company sold to a corporation, I decided that a career shift was in order. I transitioned to the Humboldt County Recorder's Office rather swiftly and quickly became a Senior Recordable Document Examiner. Where I once researched and created documents to record, now I get to record them.
