Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.

Joe Biden’s threat to suspend patent protection for the COVID vaccines is reckless and harmful in the long run. Moderna spent 10 years and countless dollars on developing mRNA technology never turning a profit until last month. This action will turn their hard work over to China, Russia and other bad actors for free and will stifle further innovation when it’s needed most.
