Email Address mark@gabrynowicz.com Please explain any As a AB home owner since 1983 I have had a long interest in employment experience, our community and its unique character. My early interest in board/committee our environment led me to follow a physics/oceanography experience, and/or degree at the Naval Academy. Research projects and community volunteer volunteer projects at the Academy included Chesapeake Bay experience relative to the pollution studies which included writing a laboratory manual for board/committee applying chemical analysis of seawater. My subsequent nearly 25 year for. Navy career was focused primarily on shipboard engineering assignments. After retiring from a second career in defense sector jobs I returned to studies at Jacksonville University for long postponed art classes. At the request of my photography professor I founded an Artist in Residency Program which is a collaboration between the Timucunan Parks Foundation and JU with the purpose of exposing JU students to our diverse ecological environment and the need for its stewardship. Throughout my naval and business careers and retirement pursuits I have experienced a broad range of leadership and collaborative opportunities. Please provide a brief Although never a Boy Scout I firmly believe in one of the explanation of your Scouts' most significant tenets of leaving your place behind interest and your reasons better than you found it. With many competing demands for for wishing to be scarce resources to manage our many endeavors, it always appointed to this seems the most expedient to give stewardship of our board/committee. environment the lowest priority. Community awareness and active involvement are essential to stop our kicking the can down the road as it is becoming more apparent that there is an environmental abyss at the end of that road. As a member of the community I wish to bring my leadership experiences, knowledge and concerns for the places I leave behind to improve our community living and promote a better future. I will be available to September 18, 2019 interview after 5 p.m. on the following date. PLEASE NOTE: This application will expire two (2) years from the date of submittal.
