Jeanena and I were married in March of 2003, and sold our respective homes in Napa, California while transitioning to our home to Jacksonville. Like many newcomers to the City of Jacksonville, we were drawn by the City’s small town charm as an historic pioneer town dating back to 1850’s with many of the town’s original buildings and historic neighborhoods preserved. Equaling drawing us to Jacksonville was the Jacksonville Woodlands Trail System.
In 2004, I retired from Napa County as the Napa County Planning Director following 27 years of public service with the County of Napa. Prior to Napa County, I was a Planning Assistant for the City of Chico for 3 years. Prior to that, I worked for the Wall Street Journal in Palo Alto, California as an Advertising Production clerk. Prior to that, I was living the 60's!!
Jeanena and I have three grown children and 5 grand children. We share a strong interest in community and family history with membership in the Jacksonville Boosters Club, Jacksonville Community Center, Southern Oregon Historical Society and the Rogue Valley Genealogical Society. I also enjoyed 20+ years hiking and pack-backing, primarily in the California Sierra Mountains, running & jogging including successfully running the Napa Valley Marathon, the Mt. Hood to Coast relay, and the local Pear Blossom Run.

Bob has been married to Terri (avid quilter) since 1981, with whom he has one son, Geoff, who lives in Williams and works for Forest Farm Nursery.
Bob joined the Jacksonville Woodlands Association (JWA) and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) as a way of giving back to the community that he greatly appreciates. Bob’s 38 year career lends itself to both these volunteer organizations.

She is a long-time jogger and hiker and for years has been drawn to the Woodlands trails so becoming a Woodlands’ Board member was a natural transition when she moved to Jacksonville with her husband, Mike, in 2011. Mike is also a retired educator and shares her enjoyment of the Woodlands trails.

Foster is an practicing artist and has designed most of the Woodlands t shirt graphics. Ray recently built a pottery studio on a hillside that looks directly over much of the Woodlands trail systems. He was motivated initially to maintain the small town ambience afforded by saving undeveloped property.
A lifelong runner and hiker, he realized the trail system also greatly enhanced the joy of visiting and living in this beautiful town.

I love to hike and be out in the woods be it fishing on some remote stream or camping in one of Oregon's beautiful wild areas. So when I moved to Jacksonville and found the Woodlands trails right outside my door I immediately started to hike, run and ride by bicycle on those trails. I also enjoy getting out to work with people and nature so it was a natural for me to get involved in the Jacksonville Woodland Association. I have been a Board Member since 2014.
