Treasurer: Alan Wilson
My wife, Monica Huerta, and I are the proud parents of three kids who are attending or have attended AG Bell. Maggie is in 3rd grade at Bell and Beni and Sebi are in 7th and 9th grades at Finn Hill and Juanita. I grew up near Puyallup but have spent a good portion of my life away from Washington (Ann Arbor, MI; Chicago, IL; Geneva, Switzerland; and the Bay Area). I have worked in physics research and more recently in data science and engineering. I also have too many hobbies. They include woodworking, puzzles, gardening, LEGO, pickleball, electronics, and the meta-hobby of building organization systems for many of the hobbies! Over the past few years I have tried to help in many different ways through volunteering at the school and this year I am adding participation in the board as Treasurer to that list. Every single time it has been rewarding and fun; this year I expect all that to continue and more.
