I have been involved with IRIS since my graduate school and post-doc days when it was just a pie-in-the-sky idea. The first days of IRIS/PASSCAL coincided with my move to Oregon State University and allowed me to have a field-based career in seismology using both natural and controlled sources to image crustal structure associated with active and relict plate boundaries. Along the way, I have had many adventures, made many friends, and used a wide range of IRIS/PASSCAL facilities for research, teaching and outreach. These include portable broadbands, ocean bottom seismometers, multichannel reflection systems, and most recently a large-N experiment using nodes and many volunteers. In addition, service on the NSF facilities panel and as director of the EarthScope National Office has given me a glimpse of UNAVCO operations and an appreciation for the common objectives and overlapping membership of both facilities. This broad base of experience has exposed me to the challenge of running an effective facility that is responsive to and serves the needs of the community. Serving on the IRIS BOD during this transitional time for IRIS and UNAVCO would be an opportunity to give back to the community that has enabled my career.
