Treasurer, Shipping, Web Master
Owner of On Target Professionals and MyProFreight.com.
I have a very diverse background in Software Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Global Logistics and Aviation as well as being a Veteran of the US Navy. I am not a professional educator nor am I a potter. I can, however, throw pots thanks to the tutelage of Bob Feder and Lee Burningham and do enjoy it when the opportunity presents itself.
My journey with K12 Clay started in 2008 when I was contacted by Lee Burningham to help solve the challenges with shipping of student work to and from the exhibition. We worked closely to devise a plan to assure the safe and efficient shipping of student artwork. We were able to implement our plan for the 2009 Exhibition with wonderful results. We continued to improve the process over the years to become efficient for the Teachers and Exhibition Team.
At the 2009 Exhibition in Phoenix, I was able to witness the amazing opportunity that K12 Clay gave to students. I, too, wanted to make a difference in the future of art and the children that created it.
In 2009 I was voted in as Treasurer. I worked at organizing our accounting process as well as gaining access to reduced cost software through grants from the developers.
Over the next several years we created K12 Clay website to provide public visibility, to simplify the entire submission process for the teachers and a Juror portal that allows quick adjudication of the mass number of entries we receive each year. It has also enhanced the communication process, Scholarship and Award management systems, and printer interfaces.
Every year I join others in our organization to elevate and improve the potential future of these children through the amazing world of K12 Clay. I am just as moved and inspired today by the work that is being done by all the Students, Teachers, Donors and Volunteers.
