Recently moved from Vermont to Portland, Oregon and I'm looking to find community. In recent years, I've focused on raising three young kids, including identical twins! We enjoy hikes, foraging fruit on our neighborhood walks, and using our cargo e-bike to get around town. Now, I’m excited to return to the workforce, eager to apply my skills and experiences to drive impact in the climate sector. Hoping to make a few professional and non-professional connections.

I’ve been in the semiconductor industry for over 25 years, currently directing a strategic engineering team that explores technology and roadmap to enable competitive computer products. Registered Professional Engineer in Oregon with Ph.D/MBA. I’d love to learn about other people’s industries and share thoughts about current affairs.

Fundraising ideas for an emerging non-profit research institute is my primary interest.
