+## What I have done
+
+A large part of what I’ve done has been driving the effort to build/maintain a
+healthy contributor community.  I’ve tried to make it easier for new contributors,
+worked towards ensuring active reviewer/approvers, streamlined the issue triage
+process and more. A few notable items:
+
+- [Routinely pruned and update OWNERS files](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/kubernetes-dev/4160VsBL7OI/BsBRZSqpCQAJ)
+- [Defined policy around inactive members](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/kubernetes-dev/AvCa-sGx9Jw/zByeyP9LAgAJ)
+- [Helped run several of our Contributor Summits](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/events) (in the before times 😭)
+- Trusted member of the [GitHub Admin Team](http://git.k8s.io/community/github-management#github-administration-team) and a representative to GitHub for the project
+- [Moderator of all the things](https://git.k8s.io/community/communication/moderators.md)
+- Driven further automation and improvements in the KEP process.
+- Surface our docs and resources in a more accessible fashion aka contributor site \o/ - [https://k8s.dev](https://k8s.dev)

+Beyond Kubernetes, I’ve been involved heavily with the CNCF, as an[ambassador](https://www.cncf.io/people/ambassadors/),
+co-chair of the [Research User Group](https://github.com/cncf/research-user-group),
+and I’ve had a close working relationship with them through the Contributor Summits.

+
+## What I’ll do
+
+(aka My Pitch)
+
+I’ve been an end user and part time contributor for the majority of my time in the project.. I’ve
+experienced the frustrations of participating and I’ve driven hard to improve them. If elected, I’d
+focus on shoring up the areas of the project that are under-represented or under-staffed. I want to
+build sustainable models to grow our contributors - our reviewers, approvers, owners and future
+leaders.
