District 8

A native Washingtonian, Al was elected to help guide our co-op into the 21st century. In one respect, he is probably one of the most knowledgeable trustees elected to the board in a long time. Al’s experience is in the field as a line foreman, where he has spent the last two decades out on the lines before retiring in January of 2002, making sure the people served by the Douglas County PUD enjoy reliable and consistent energy service.

Al and his wife Karma are very involved in their community, having served on their local school board, organized a youth basketball program and coached softball and team roping. Al and Karma have lived across the river in Bridgeport since 1980. They have two children, Shane and Shelbie, and 3 grandchildren, Honistee, Madisen and Dylan. Al enjoys all outdoor activites but especially team roping, hunting and fishing.
