In 1999 I had my first pond built. I learned
a lot with this pond and in doing so made every mistake you can along the way. I recently had my pond enlarged from 1600 gallons
to 6880 gallons. Boy, are my fish happy! I’ve been a member of the Mid-Columbia Koi & Pond Club since about 1999
and recently became newsletter editor. For the last three years I have organized our club’s annual pond tour. I am also
a member of the North Idaho Koi Keepers and look forward to learning a lot from their meetings. My involvement with the PNKCA began in 2005 when I attended my first PNKCA convention in Portland. The
Executive Board was looking for a volunteer club for the 2006 22nd annual convention. I talked my club members into hosting
the convention. They said okay, but that I would have to chair it, so I did. While doing this, I became a PNKCA Representative
for my club. The convention took a year to plan, and with the help of lots of people, we got it done. Now I’m looking
forward to serving as Secretary for the PNKCA Executive Board.

I met my first koi at the Honolulu
Airport in 1980 and I thought they were magnificent. Little did I know
that 10 years later Nancy and I would begin construction of our first pond. At first, the fish were Nancy’s, but I succumbed to the allure and bought my first fish, Emily, a cute Yamabuki
Ogon, in 1992. Fast forward over the last 15 years—I’ve been an active member of the Washington Koi &
Water Garden Society, and have served on the Executive Board as Treasurer, Newsletter Editor (twice) and President (twice)
and I’ve chaired two of our Annual Koi Shows. I have learned more things than I ever thought I would want to know—how
to inject fish, how to do a necropsy, etc. Not the most fun part of koikeeping, but the joys far outweigh the challenges and
the failures. It has been so much fun to meet other koi kichi people; I’ve been to at least five PNKCA Conventions,
three AKCA Seminars, and numerous koi shows up and down the west coast. I have made lots of friends and seen incredibly beautiful
fish, and I still am thrilled when our koi come rushing over at the sound of my voice. I look forward to working with club
members across the Pacific Northwest as I serve as PNKCA Treasurer.
