He also serves as current AASL Region 8 director, pursuing connections with other library and information technology professionals in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. His passion for libraries is balanced by a penchant for active outdoor pursuits; whether commuting by bike, fastening on crampons and rope for a “library summit” or just skipping out during conferences for a conversational run with like-minded colleagues.
