David Lewis, Chair – I’m a 5-year resident of Mountain View, having retired from an engineering research management position on the East Coast, where I had nearly 40 years experience in community associations. As Chair,
I will oversee a Steering Committee that will be the eyes and ears for the community, alerting the community to issues that will affect us, as well as foster opportunities to bring the community together.

I frequently lobby Council members on behalf of quality of life issues in our neighborhood.
Jack Perkins, Secretary I grew up in Palo Alto and I’ve lived in Old Mountain View for 22 years both as a renter and home owner. My wife and I try to go to the beach at least once a week. If I ever leave OMV it will be to a place very close to the ocean. I’ve been studying the Bhagavad Gita for the past 3 years or so (seriously folks) and love fishing and hunting. I am an executive recruiter and work with clients in India and Silicon Valley.
