I am a geophysicist and University of Oregon Physics faculty member with a long record of service as a former school board member and as a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) career advocate.
My background includes serving on boards, supporting K through 12 through community college and university students with National Science Foundation scholarships and activities, and a deep background in applying electricity and magnetism to understanding the Earth.
I live near Crow, Oregon, and am a grateful fan of the services provided by Lane Electric Cooperative.
My factory-worker father taught me the importance of service to your community, so I hope to serve my community as a Lane Electric Cooperative board member.
