Community Service
Community Involvement:
Volunteer for the Missoula "Habitat For Humanity" organization. In October 2021 I joined as the Chair of the "Innovation Team" charged with researching, evaluating and introducing new methods of construction, business models and community outreach. With other members of the leadership teams I helped to draft the "Core Ideologies" and "Mission Statement" while also working on articulating our "Objectives" "Strategies" and "Tactics" all in coordination with the Executive Director and Board.
Board member of the "Missoula Development Authority" that is charged with advising the Missoula County Commissioneers in matters of "Tax Increment Financing" (or TIF), for the various current and future districts.
Supporter if the "Sunrise Movement" and the Green New Deal" a proposal for a ten-year economic mobilization to rapidly transition the US to a zero-carbon economy and in doing so, regenerate and reorganize the US economy in ways that significantly reduce inequality and redress legacies of systemic oppression.
From September 2017 to October 2021 I was the Co-Chair of the "Lewis and Clark Neighborhood Council" and the Chair of the "Bancroft Ponds Steering Committee". We addressed myriad concerns such as traffic safety, urban deer, fostering and protecting the Wildlife Habitat, and improving our recycling efforts. As my wife and I were new to the neighborhood it was a great opportunity to contribute to this wonderful community and get to know our neighbors.
I am a member of the "Clark Fork Coalition" who works closely with private landowners, conservation partners and public agencies to rehabilitate degraded creeks and streams. One of the greatest treasures of Montana are our rivers and streams. The health of our fish and water is critical to the long term health of our people, wildlife and our lands!
My wife and I are also supporters of "Climate Smart" a local Missoula organization dedicated to intelligent, well thought out ways to decrease energy consumption and use science, technology and creative thinking to address Climate Change and reverse the adverse effects that humans have had on our Global Climate.
Missoula Food Bank is an essential part of the local communitys' goal of eliminating hunger in Missoula. I volunteer time each month to helping the Food Bank help those in need of food. It's one of the most gratifying uses of my time.
