I’ve taught high school language arts, managed a community theatre, designed and built houses and theatre sets, and currently am a licensed limited residential contractor.

I am having productive fun with this Board of Directors. I feel we’re all being “revitalized” with the town.

I’ve been a board member since 2019. I’m very excited about our new members! They have brought new energy and excitement to the organization. They’re all willing to roll up their sleeves and put in the work. I see renewed energy and comradery spreading to the community. I’m really looking forward to all the exciting things we are going to accomplish in the future! This a wonderful community with great people and so many possibilities and projects.

My family and I moved to Port Orford six years ago. I am so grateful to be part of this community that I wanted to give back to this community. So being a board member of POMSRA gives me that opportunity.

I’ve been a board member of Port Orford Main Street since its inception in 2009 and foresee Main Street helping our town continue to grow in charm and prosperity.

As an artist, I am continually inspired by the natural beauty of this special place.

I’m excited to serve on the POMSRA Board and help represent small businesses and entrepreneurs in our awesome coastal town. Volunteering and serving are very important values I hold dear and I enjoy helping organizations I believe in, in a community I love.

As a professional marketer, I've launched global advertising campaigns from NYC to Tokyo and am excited to bring that experience to Port Orford to highlight our fantastic local businesses.

When I’m not working my corporate marketing job, I enjoy hiking, camping, foraging, birdwatching, cooking, organic gardening, collecting antique cameras, and dabbling in art projects. I'm also a proud councilmember of the Port Orford Watershed Council.

To be a board member of Port Orford Main Street is an honor and I look forward to all the good work ahead as well as the opportunity to listen, learn, and do my civic duty by getting more involved in this beautiful community.

I moved to Port Orford in February 2022 from Paradise, California. My wife Jillian and I had a landscape business there for 28 years and are now enjoying retirement. I am passionate about fishing, crabbing, plants, and living in a small community. We have been warmly embraced by the people of Port Orford and felt at home right away. In fact, we never want to move away from this amazing little fishing village we can now call home.

I moved to Port Orford eight years ago and I am excited to support and promote our wonderful community. My career includes more than 30 years in Information Technology and Business Management. I have been honored to support community organizations in the past. These include volunteering and board memberships with Consumer Credit Counseling of Southern Oregon, Feeding Southwest Virginia and United Way of Bristol TN/VA.

My personal interests include travel, gardening, cooking and walking the beach with my German Shepherd dog.
