+## What I have done
+
+I have been involved in the greater Kubernetes community since 2015. Most folks likely know me through the work that I've done in SIG Cluster Lifecycle and Cluster API, where I lead the development of features and improvements unlocking real world production use.
+
+More importantly, I was instrumental in expanding and growing the community around the Cluster API project. This included breaking down barriers between competing projects, vendor products, end users, and individual contributors. As a result, bringing the wide scale adoption of Cluster API as the defacto standard for building Kubernetes lifecycle management tooling.
+
+Over the years, I have sought out ways to contribute back to the community, this includes serving on the Program Committee for KubeCon/CloudNativeCon, assisting with Kubernetes Contributor Summits, and most recently serving as a member of the Code of Conduct Committee.

+
+## What I'll do
+
+The biggest challenge that Kubernetes faces as a project is sustainability, and that is my top priority. I see this as a three pronged approach:
+
+- Sustainability of Maintainers: ensuring that we have appropriate programs in place for mentorship, growth, and avoiding maintainer burnout.
+- Sustainability of Contributors: ensuring that we are implementing processes to reduce the barrier to entry for new contributors and that we are actively fostering a diverse inclusive, and supportive environment for all contributors.
+- Sustainability of Infrastructure: ensuring that we can head off future funding emergencies related to running the project infrastructure, that funding is not reliant on a single company, and we secure long term commitments for funding.
