I have been on the Tree Lafayette board since 2014, and now serve as the executive director. My background is engineering, and I retired from Alcoa in 2014 after 33 years with the company. One of my passions is the environment, keeping it clean, natural, and healthy for native flora and fauna species, and a place that humans can enjoy and respect. I have lived in Tippecanoe County for 21 years, along with my wife, Eileen, and children, Ted and Mari. Tree Lafayette is a totally volunteer organization, and is a thriving non profit due to the dedication of many individuals and the support of the greater Lafayette community.
