I’m retired, so I get to do whatever I want … sort of. I try not to overcommit, and that works most of the time. Here are some things I’ve been doing lately.

Environmental Action – most of my volunteer work is in this area. I’m part of RiverWood Council, which seeks to “conserve, protect, and connect our natural areas.” I’m also actively involved in my church’s Creation Justice Team, where I now concentrate on combating light pollution.

Radar Hill Hiking Club – I’ve organized more than fifty monthly hikes to get people outdoors and interested in land conservation.

Camino de Santiago – in 2021, I walked the 500-mile “French Camino” across Spain with my best friend from high school. Here are some photos, and here’s a video of a presentation. In 2024, I went back alone and walked 175 miles on the “Portuguese Camino”.

Saugatuck-Douglas History Center – I’m active on the technology committee and have conducted research into local history. Here’s a video of a talk I gave in November 2023 on a hamlet near where I live.
