Dear Mayor Bruch,
I am writing to introduce myself as the new Executive Director at the Port of Seattle. I am
honored to be a part of this organization. For me, this is a return to the region, where lserved
as the United States Coast Guard Commander, Sector Puget Sound from 2005 to 2008. This
region is a special place in our nation and I am happy to be here again to live and work.
I spent my first three months introducing myself to employees and visiting as many of our
aviation and maritime operations, police, fire and maintenance centers as possible. We have
an outstanding team here at the port, and I look forward to adding my experience and
leadership to the regional conversation during this time of unprecedented growth and change.
My priorities as Executive Director are to provide leadership on several modernization projects
underway and planned at Sea-Tac lnternational Airport, develop and expand our thriving
cruise business, maximize economic development opportunities, build partnerships with our
neighboring communities across King County, and expand our commitment to enhancing the
environment, equ ity and inclusion.
I look forward to working with you, and welcome your feedback on issues of importance to
you. lf you would like to contact me directly, lcanbereached byphone: (2oG) 787-77O4 or
email: metruck.s@Dortseattle.ors.
