Yes No If yes to the above, please provide relation Interest & Experiences Why are you interested in serving on a board or committee? When I was a very young boy, my parents moved our family from Easton, PA to Oviedo, FL. When we arrived I was surrounded by nature, orange trees, and a small town. I went to Tuskawilla Middle School before the transformation decades ago and Lake Howell High School before there was a beautiful pool for the locals. I left after high school to earn two degrees and wandered my way back. To my surprise the town I grew up in is no longer the quiet place we once knew. I have now lived in Winter Springs since coming back for a little over 2 years. This area is changing faster than any of us imagined and it is up to the local government to engage the citizens and ensure that we are growing in a way that preserves the beauty of our town while still growing. Ever since a young age I have had a interest in politics and I knew when I heard our current mayor was stepping down, I knew it was time to give back to the community that had raised me. David Marini Date of Birth Briefly state any specialized knowledge or prior experience you have that would be useful in assisting the board or committee in accomplishing its purpose. I have two degrees, one in pharmaceutical science and the other in computer science. One of the main issues facing the residents of our city is the water quality. The solution to our problem requires a scientific approach. Having a degree with a large knowledge of chemistry will allow the council to better talk to advisors. How we communicate with our citizens is also a ever evolving need with the growth of technology. I currently work as a Product Owner at AAA National, helping lead the software development of the technology used to get tow trucks to stranded members. I previously worked on technologies used by fire departments, local governments, and police officers. Without having knowledge of the industry, this world of technology is an overwhelming one. Briefly state any experience you have in serving on any governmental board or committee. I have worked on committees back in my college days and do not have any governmental board experience. I believe this is a perk in our current political environment. The citizens of Winter Springs do not want a mayor who is a career politician, they want someone who has the best interests of our community at heart. I grew up here, my parents live here, my siblings live here, and my nephews live here. All I want is to make the community a better, happier place to live.
