I’ve been a Jag since 1994; at my first match I got a stadium tour and met Lambie (who swore lots – very exciting at 13) and Charnley (who whacked me with a programme). I watched the game, we lost, but I was hooked.
I’ve now got three young children and I’m trying to work out how to similarly afflict them before they go to school and face other malign influences.
Fan ownership gives us a great opportunity, and responsibility, to make a difference. Short-term, most important is getting more bums on seats. I see an opportunity for TJF to align some fundraising with improving the matchday experience – how do we understand and engage different segments of fans – young families being a personal passion, but also schoolchildren, people attending alone, people coming with mates, students etc. We need to make Firhill the focal point of more people’s weekend routines. Longer-term, we should sort out the bing…
I’ve spent 20+ years in senior roles in Banking and Management Consultancy focussed on delivering projects to understand customers, improve customer experience, and increase sales. I think this could be helpful to TJF and I’d love the opportunity to make a difference.

Hi everyone! I appreciate you reading this far. Born and raised in the American Midwest (if you’ve stopped reading now, I understand!), I’ve supported PTFC since 2007 when my then-girlfriend and I traveled to Glasgow to visit her brother. We visited a wet and windy Firhill to watch a 2-0 loss to Accies highlighted by a double sending off and a Mark Roberts missed pen.
But those fans, though! They were loud and undeterred. I instantly felt a part of it all, result be damned, and I left Scotland that month with a new fiancée (now wife) and a new club.
Since then, I’ve supported Thistle as best a Nomad can – player sponsorships, merch, PPV, and maybe 1 or 2 trips to Firhill a season.
My background is in technology management, and I currently lead an applications team at an academic medical center in Chicago, where I focus on project management, people management, budgeting, and training. Additionally, I will complete my MBA from the University of Illinois this spring.
I hope to use my skills and education to support TJF’s fan ownership mission and help ensure PTFC remains around for others to discover as I did.

Had 24 hours to write this — possibly the most “Partick Thistle” deadline imaginable — guess it shows I can meet a deadline.
I’ve worked for the government for more years than I care to remember, explains the grey hair, mostly in Strategy, Communication and Transformation roles.
I’m a problem solver, my job is to turn complicated issues into plain, common sense solutions. I don’t do jargon.
Transparency matters. Communication should be clear, honest and open, especially in a fan led organisation, like everyone else here, I’m simply a fan.
My family’s Jags story goes back to the 1930s; mine’s the 70s watching Doug Somner and Bobby Houston, still wear my grandfather’s scarf which is older than me.
Participated in working groups for the club before, I have time and experience, happy to give it to the Club and the Foundation.
Matchdays you’ll find me in Munns, getting my pint and pie from Phyllis then my usual spot in the JL beside the Ultras
Watched their numbers grow over the years reminds me they are important to the club’s future, that said, WE ALL ARE, we’re all in this together.
Be grateful for your vote, you have a question I’ll get you an answer.
