I grew up in the valley and after a career away decided to return to this beautiful place to live. I always said that if I was fortunate enough to retire that I would give back to my community. I love history and anything old as objects all have a story to tell. So volunteering at the Museum hooked me.

Our Museum is a jewel at the centre of what makes Creston so fine. It reflects not just our past but speaks to what we can see for our future. I am honored to be a member of the executive and Recording Secretary. The work we do to move the Museum and Historical Society forward is critical and I am committed to its mission and vision.

Todd has lived in Creston for over a decade and joined the Museum board to:

Learn of the valley's history and the influences it has had up to the present time
Gain a better understanding of the changing roles of museums in highlighting and educating people on current social issues
Find ways to make museums more interactive, for example using technology to make exhibits more interactive and creating exhibits where the Museum's visitors create the exhibit content
