Text messaging is ideal. If I’m out of range, I’ll receive your message when I re-enter connectivity. If this is your first text to me, please include your name (or better, share your vCard/VCF) so I can add your contact details to my phone.

I’m just as reachable via Facebook Messenger as with cell texting.

The Mendocino 5th District Facebook group has over 1,000 subscribers. This is a great place to discuss topics openly as a community.

Calendar invites (from phone, Gmail, Outlook, Facebook, OSX, etcetera) will be automatically added to my calendar of events. This helps me RSVP, track schedule conflicts, time changes, location and details. See compatible apps or RFC 5545.

I receive a massive flow of email and sometimes the junk filtering isn’t perfect. Email is good for attachments, but if I don’t acknowledge, please don’t hesitate to nudge. For large documents, I recommend sharing via Dropbox/Box/GoogleDrive.

As Fire Chief, my cell number has been available to the community for years. You’re welcome to call at any hour, but for non-urgent matters, the best hours are 10-9pm. If you can’t reach me, (my wife) Mary’s cell is 707 937 3600.

Group gatherings, whether formal events or coffee meets, are an effective means to share ideas. I can use your help coordinating venues, either focused on towns or topics.
