I am a retired physician and a past Supervisor of Eagle Harbor Township. I am presently member of the Eagle Harbor Township Planning Commission and the Eagle Harbor Township Parks Sub-Committee

The Keweenaw is special to me because there is something new and wonderful in the beauty and variety of the outdoors and the people of the Keweenaw every day. Living here is an ever changing and progressing spiritual experience for me. I think that may be true for a lot of people - it's the indefinable reason I love to live here and I hope that experience can continue for future generations.

I enjoy the wonders of the vast resources and natural beauty through walking and hiking, birds and learning endlessly about wild mushrooms and hopefully finding many edible varieties. I used to do a lot of hunting and fishing but more and more I find my other activities more accessible and enjoyable now.

I want to help protect land in the Copper Country so that these resources will be here to provide for life needs for all and the enjoyment of the wonders of the Copper Country for future generations.

I decided to joint the KLT board of Directors because I have been intrigued and in agreement with the mission and successes of the Keweenaw Land Trust which are so important to me. I hope I've gotten a little smarter as time has gone by so that I can help to contribute to the great work this organization and its dedicated members and staff have accomplished and are planning for the future. I am especially impressed now with the progress being made through schools, organizations such as the Keweenaw Land Trust and others to provide for the educational process to involve students of all ages in the outdoors and what is going on in the natural world around them.

I bring a dedicated love and calling for the outdoors especially in the Keweenaw, which has become unwavering as time has gone by. I have a life history of family and friends and authors encouraging observation of what is going on in nature, and a long and varied experience with administrative and organizational skills. I like to focus on looking ahead and keeping an eye on the big picture to help guide our future.
