I live on San Juan Island, having retired in 2019 from teaching high school biology on the east coast.  My wife and I built our own timberframe barn here in 2007 and then embarked on building our own house over a period of seven years.  It's done, yea! Building things, whether a house or a boat or a beautiful vegetable garden has always been a part of my lifestyle and I come to the Board with a zillion practical skills to share.  I am into my second term, chair the projects committee, and look forward to helping our community establish more affordable housing.
