About me

See my staff profile.

Current TFN roles

I currently sit on Toronto Free-Net's board of directors. I was elected at the 2016 AGM for a 3-year term.

TFN directors are expected to undertake additional tasks. I do these:

Direct the development of TFN's computer & communications infrastructure, in my role as TFN's information systems manager.
Design and often write much of TFN's software.
Coordinate TFN's technical volunteers.
Advise TFN officers & staff on TFN procedure.
Sometimes assist in other areas, in which we are short-handed.

Past TFN roles

I joined TFN in 2006. I began volunteering in earnest in 2007.

I first joined TFN's board, at the Oct/2009 AGM, after posting a long campaign platform. I became president at the subsequent board meeting. I served consecutive presidencies until Feb/2016. To aid our new president, I stayed on as interim general manager until Jul/2019.

It was difficult but I did deliver on that original platform. All of it! Now, we go beyond it.
