Personal Statement
Professional Background:
President of ServoTools (www.ServoTools.com)
Electronics Engineering Consultant since 1985
Environmental Pursuits:
He is Founding Director of the Friends of Sycamore Valley.
FSV was founded in 1998 to bring a greater public awareness to the
negative impacts of commercial cattle grazing in the East Bay Regional
Park District (EBRPD) of the San Francisco Bay Area.
He has performed several years of field research on the impacts of cattle
grazing and written several reports on the damage that has occurred in the
EBRPD parks.
He is Founding Director of the Citizens for Safer Parks. CSP
was founded as an offshoot of FSV. Research done by FSV uncovered the fact
that numerous injuries have been occurring in open space parks as a direct
result of "free-roaming" cattle. CSP is actively lobbying local
and federal legislators in an effort to halt the unnecessary bodily injury
and deaths to members of the public that are a direct result of public
agencies that allow unsupervised cattle to graze in areas of public
access.
He has been a member of the Regional Parks Association (www.RegionalParksAssociation.org)
Board of Directors since November 2002. The RPA started out as the Regional
Parks Natural History Association, an unincorporated association
which was organized November 25, 1947. Many of the individuals who formed
this organization were very well-respected in the environmental community
(visit the website for an interesting look at the organization's history).
On September 12, 1949 the founders formed a non-profit corporation, which
they called the Regional Parks Association. The RPA works on
various environmental issues in the East Bay Region of the San Francisco
Bay Area and focuses considerable effort on monitoring EBRPD-related
issues.
