Hello INFRA community! I’m excited to be joining the Marketing & Communications Team as a Marketing Production Designer.
Fostering healthy communities is important to me. As independent retailers are such an important point of connection in so many communities, it will be rewarding to help my team assist them in reaching their audiences. My most recent design experience is as a senior graphic designer/art director in an advertising agency. I’ve also worked in-house in marketing and publishing agencies. I’m excited to use my experience to further INFRA’s mission with the Marketing and Communications Team.
A couple of my current favorite natural products are Adaptogenic NA Cocktails from Parch and Maeve Craft Chocolate (both because they are delicious, and because their branding was done by a favorite branding agency, “The Young Jerks” in Brooklyn). I also love books, biking Minneapolis trails, birding (165 on my list so far), and discovering interesting Mpls/St Paul eateries. I look forward to doing great work with my team and furthering INFRA’s goals!

I'm very excited to join INFRA as our Technical Support Specialist. I've been in IT for over 20 years and have worn lots of hats over that time. I look forward to using my skills to assist staff and members.
I come from a farming family, and I've had a deep interest in organic food, sustainability, and ecology for many years. In addition, I believe deeply in the importance of local community, and small independent businesses as the heart of thriving local communities. After many years in the pure profit corporate world, I am very excited to be doing work that meshes with my personal beliefs so well.
I've been married since last century to Jeri, who works at a co-op near our home, and have a 14-year-old named Graves. I love to spend time with my family, be outside, and read, everything from philosophy and theology to pulp fantasy. We live in south Minneapolis with our pocket pittie Sprout and love the lakes and parks. I grew up in a golden time for Minneapolis music and still love going to shows. I'm also a long-time Twins fan.
I'm super excited to be here and can't wait to get started!

Hello! I'm happy to join INFRA as a Developer. I've been working in software for about 10 years. I've always been most driven by work that aligns with my values and being able to support the good work of others. So I am excited to support small, values-driven businesses that support access to natural foods!
I also have a background in teaching, which informs my work, both in how I collaborate with others and in how I think about user-friendly design. We all have different experiences and knowledge, and I love to find ways to learn from and communicate across those differences. I'm excited to continue to learn about the work of INFRA members and find new ways technology can support them in doing the good work they are passionate about.
Outside of work, I enjoy starting and joining too many book clubs, hanging out with my dog, and spending time at the local lakes. Speaking of local, some of my favorite natural food products are from Minnesota: Salsa Lisa, Cry Baby Craig's hot sauce, and Baba's hummus.
