+## What I have done
+
+I've contributed to Kubernetes since 2017, though I would characterize my
+involvement as "breadth" rather than "depth" so far. Some of the various
+things I have done or been involved in:
+
+- Early on CSI and storage related discussions
+- Greatly refactored the CAPI Cluster API Provider Docker (CAPD)
+- Code and docs reviews
+- Random "drive by" contributions where I saw opportunities to make improvements
+- Maintainer on Kind and Cloud Provider Kind
+- Contributor Summit organizer and volunteer
+- KubeCon program committee member or track chair for many events
+
+## What I'll do
+
+I see the steering committee focus as the processes and policies of the
+community rather than as a technical one. These decisions have a major impact
+on the experience of members of the community, especially those "casual"
+contributors (like I was for many years) and the likelihood they will stick
+around and become more involved.
+
+As the Kubernetes community matures, there are lessons learned from my time
+in the OpenStack community as project lead for multiple projects, Technical
+Committee member, and Foundation individual Board of Director member that I 
+hope will be valuable for trying - and avoiding - certain things.
