I’ve been involved with a lot of makerspaces in a lot of roles, but it is always fun to dive into a new one.

My current project is to help get It Begins in Brockport off the ground. It Begins in Brockport (IBiB.us) is a maker place in the making currently located in Hart Gallery 27 in Brockport, NY. Operated by Brockport Original Builds, a nonprofit organization committed to the enhancement of professional development and creative play through digital technology, IBiB’s mission is to empower community innovation and learning through accessible digital fabrication.

I have been asked to join the board of Brockport Original Builds and am actively working with the crew at IBiB to get the organization up and running.

We held a preview event in early May, 2023 and started programming and memberships in June.
