All Board meetings are open to public.

Jeanette Breton

Jeanette has owned a makerspace, organized Maker Faires, collaborated on industry-standards organizations, led in a global corporation, influenced institutions in their makerspace implementations and…She’s a Maker myself tinkering under the umbrella of Techno Chaos! Recently she founded Monumental Impact a nonprofit in the Tri-Lakes community to enable and support high school students in technology, engineering and entrepreneurship with experiences and community.

Her interests are in connecting and collaborating within the maker community to increase awareness of and strengthen the maker community across Colorado. She does not feel like one person is the sole representative of the Colorado Maker Hub. The Hub should have many leaders in our maker community and it should be a collaboration with the members of the community. Jeanette is open and receptive to ideas to make the Colorado Maker Hub a collaborative community! Let’s work together to strengthen and mature our Colorado maker community while preserving the spirit in each of our local maker communities.

Jill Rumley

As a pre-teen, she spent hours playing video games and learning how to navigate computer operating systems. When her brother brought home an IBM Personal Computer XT, he showed her how to write code and play with the paint program.

Through the late ’80s and into the late ’90s, she worked for several different organizations doing data processing and in 1999 learned Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. “Learning” isn’t the word she would use. It was more like, “OH MY GOD; THIS IS THE MOST FUN I’VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!” She spends most of her spare time creating on the computer, before picking up a pencil to sketch.

In the 2000s Jill started helping women in business build webpages and create artwork for business cards and paper brochures. She did this as a hobby while earning her bachelor’s degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology.

Jill is the founder of Artist Marketing Help utilizing her passion for helping women use tech.

He will often take on new challenges ranging from DIY home improvement to tackling data integrity projects at work.

Jon spends his leisure time either hiking, doing landscape and wildlife photography, learning new recipes, or taking classes to further his personal and professional development.

Bob Wood

As a “serial technologist”, Bob WoodBob describes his career in high tech as a “lucky coincidence of events” where he has had a chance to be involved with some major tipping points in the products and processes we use on a daily basis. Bob has worked in environments ranging from Mega-cap firms to start-ups in various roles, and has been successful largely through applying the philosophy that if one builds a better product, people will beat a path to your door. He loves disruptive technology and wants to nurture developments that are socially and environmentally responsible, and which fundamentally “Make a Difference”.

Bob is an incurable Do-It-Yourselfer. He will take apart and repair anything from internal combustion engines to ice-makers and antique Hi-Fi stereos. He makes furniture, high-powered amateur rockets, award-winning home-brew and really great chili! He is fascinated by shiny objects, like 3D-Printing, robotics, fast motorcycles and drones, but is really driven by people: Building high-powered teams, collaborating on hard problems and knowledge sharing.

These days, when Bob is not developing Digital Signal Processing apps for smart phones, he is wondering when he is going to find time to ski that next hard line or just settle in with his mandolin.
