Randy Gafner has been associated with the makers movement for decades. He feels that creative process and action breeds self-reliance and self-expression which leads to more fulfillment and higher quality of life. He thinks that in this post-modern era everyone would benefit by making more of their own things using their ideas, skills, and abilities drawn from across the creative spectrum.

Gafner has worked for over 25 years as a national and international video-journalist and communications professional. He is a skilled jazz musician, a proficient craftsman and an eager world traveller. Ever the inveterate life long learner, he recently completed a MA degree in Health Communication from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
