David Knipfer has been nominated for the President position by Gene Torrey.

Gene’s Nominating Statement:
David shows decades of large group leadership experience at JH Applied Physics Lab in his role today as Guild President. His Guild commitment is obviously strong given his willingness to assume the president’s role when his predecessor suddenly announced his resignation. David, then newly elected as Vice President, volunteered to ascend to president. He is a decisive, confident, leader with a clear vision of the path forward, and a skilled communicator. |

David’s Statement:
I have been a member of the guild since the early 2000’s and have long admired the dedicated work of the volunteer leaders and committee chairs. I’m seeking the role of President to contribute to that long tradition of guild support. I’m confident I can contribute to board decisions with enthusiasm and practical life experience while acting at all times in the best interests of the guild membership.
In my woodworking life, I’ve somehow managed to find some design creativity despite the formal education of two different engineering degrees. My box designs are generally well received, and I truly enjoy the challenge of executing by hand precision work on a smaller scale which I sell at the HorseSpirit Arts Gallery.

We look forward to your upcoming vote in support of the governance of your guild.
Paul Kishter
HCWG Election Committee Chair
