Frank Geefay

Frank has always been a champion of human potential, having overcome many challenges throughout his own life.  Frank grew up with several undiagnosed academic and social issues, during a time when such conditions were not very well understood nor addressed.  He struggled through school and was often dismissed because of his inability to fit into the traditional classroom setting.  It was only much later in life that he came to understand these struggles as possible symptoms of dyslexia and the autism spectrum.

In spite of these challenges, his persistence paid off, and he enjoyed over three decades as a Research & Development Engineer.  Now in his retirement, Frank is grateful for his family and all of his successes.  His personal struggles have given him compassion for victims of injustice, and he hopes to use his time and resources towards improving lives.

His love of science has also influences his great concern for the health of the earth.  As such, he believes that building a better future for people includes attending to the sustainability of our environment.
