Meet Our Board of Trustees

Megan has served on the BSUSD Board since February of 2014. Her connection to the South Coast of Big Sur and larger Big Sur community is mainly through her family's business, Treebones Resort, which she helps manage. Megan grew up attending public school in LA County and attending college at both community colleges and San Francisco State University. She is passionate about helping to create a sustainable, vibrant community on the South Coast of Big Sur, one in which our students and younger generation may flourish in for decades to come. “Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.” -Henri Nouwen

Richard lives and works at New Camaldoli Hermitage as a lay staff in charge of the bookstore and some of the business management duties. Richard went to school in Santa Cruz County, where he also grew up. Richard says that if you figure the average doctoral degree takes eight years to complete, he has the equivalent of five PhDs in life experience and work—only with no student loans! Richard would like to improve the experience children have in school, work to help the school be financially responsible, and be of service to his community and others. Richard believes we should never accept “average” experiences or results for our children, our teachers, our administrators, or our parents in the district. Richard is the father of a beautiful, hardworking, and caring daughter. In his free time he loves to hike and explore the wilderness, he is an avid scooter rider, and he enjoys hunting beach glass.
