I’m an elder mischief ELF, traveling & parking to experience interesting places and being a friend to all sorts of people.
I love meeting people, traveling, great food, hiking, camping, and hugging trees.
I have founded and/or served on Boards for Technical Incubators (with Wallace H. Coulter), Art Education, Performing Arts, Community Organizations, and Social & Environmental groups since the 70’s. Currently on the Board of Directors, or Advising for three Non-Profit Organizations here on the Island in Washington State – which is Home base. I also provide extensive technical and management advice to all of the organizations here, and am currently the Publications Team Lead for LICA and the Treasurer for the Lummi Island Historical Society.
A retired Director of Technology, Technical Generalist & Engineer with a lifelong interest in all types of Art, Puppetry, Animatronics, Kinetics, Robotics, Special Effects, Music, Electronics, and Stagecraft. But I still own and run many of my own businesses.
I create examples of how to recycle packaging and other items into art projects for adults and children, along with developing community oriented projects for Non-Profits.
