As a lifelong (so far) tinkerer, and son of a tinkerer, in many things(photo, electronic, chemistry, carpentry…),

2009, when we first Started working to build Quelab, I had a dream that it would eventually have “Better than your average garage full of tools for making and inventing.”. It has met and exceeded that so many times, much to my joy and delight!

I was one of the first 4 founders, and have served as an officer since our founding, and have served on the board since we switched from being a llc into being a non-profit (roughly Quelab's second year)

As a Board member, I have pretty literally seen it all, through the thick and thin. I have always attempted to put Quelab and the community of its members first. Even on the rare occasions I disagree. I always strive to give all matters the most fairness I can, and try really hard to hear both what people say and what they mean. and always use that to help weigh my decisions.

I thought about not running this term, What with the passing of my father, and with being nominated as the president of Quelab, and continuing health issues. But if the membership so chooses, I will continue on making sure this dream continues to evolve as best I can.

Thank you Quelab, for this nomination to the Board. As a bit of introduction for those of you that don’t know me, I am an avid tinkerer/maker and am endlessly interested in building and modifying pretty much anything. I am a Bicycle Mechanic, and currently manage the Esperanza Bike Shop here in Albuquerque. I have been interested in bikes since childhood, and now get a huge amount of satisfaction from building/modifying bikes that can increase accessibility for all people.

I have also worked as a GIS (Geographic Information System) tech, an ecology tech (mostly working on vegetation studies/mapping), and I also served in the Army as an Infantryman and a tank driver.

I came to Quelab through a love of film photography, but also have a background in sewing and woodworking, and a bunch of other stuff.

Thank you again for this nomination, and if elected, I will work to continue the mission of this remarkable organization to the best of my ability.
