Ted started on the MRFHA board in July 2018 and was elected president in 2020. His cabin on Tract O Lot 11 has been in the family since 1939 when his grandfather was issued the first permit for the lot and shortly after built the original cabin. The cabin is now enjoyed by the 5th generation of family.
Vice President
First term expires 6/30/2028
After spending 15 years in education, most of that time at international schools in Istanbul, Bangkok, and New Delhi, my wife and I decided in 2002 that Bend would be the ideal place to raise our children. Initially in Bend I stayed home for several years until our kids were in elementary school. I’ve always had a passion for woodworking so I launched a one-man cabinet and furniture business that kept me busy for the last twenty years. Our family has always spent time camping and hiking and one of our favorite places to camp was the Metolius
River basin. Naturally we dreamed of owning one of the cabins along the river,
but it never seemed like it was in the cards. In May of 2023 we were fortunate to be able to pool our resources with our extended family and secure our little
piece of paradise.
