For President

Craig
Baker-KF7LLA: I joined FWARC in 2013, taking
over the Digital Communications group and managing all
internet connectivity, D-STAR and other digital modes
for the club's repeaters. In this role, I have tried to
focus on what the club members want for the digital
infrastructure and classes. Serving as Secretary for the
2019-2020 Board, I have an understanding of how the
board operates and the expectations placed upon the
officers and trustees; including the desire and need for
transparency for the club members to know what the board
is doing on their behalf. As President, I will work to
be inclusive and provide transparency across all board
positions. FWARC is rooted in being a radio and social
club, it is my goal to get back to those foundations so
that the members can enjoy the benefits of club
membership while continuing to provide opportunities for
members to advance their interests in radio.

David
Swartz-KC7RRH: I am one of the founding members of
the FWARC. This club was created to provide
service to our community, educational opportunities for
new and experienced HAMS, and to have good times
together. For much of our 20+ years of operation
we succeeded in this goal. I served the club and members
as President, Vice-president, Secretary, and Trustee
building this club into a great amateur radio club. I
led the repeater operations committee of the club in the
construction and design of our seven analog and digital
repeaters. Repeaters that were mostly paid for through
extensive fundraising activities and partnerships with
community organizations. Professionally I work in
Federal Way as the IT manager for a world class research
facility. The vice president presides over the
membership committee of the club. As vice-president I
will end the chaos and uncertainty that currently exists
in our membership records. Working with honest
club leadership I will work to establish policies and
processes to ensure complete transparency of our
records, the issuance of membership cards, and
traceability of your payment into the clubs financial
accounts. We all deserve better. Integrity and
ethics matter.

Mike
McCoy-N7VWD: I am a Charter Member of FWARC,
joining in early 1999. I have served in all positions on
the club’s board of trustees with the exception of club
Secretary. In addition to serving on the Board of
Trustees, I have also organized some of our past field
day events, and served as training coordinator in the
early days of the club. I have facilitated several club
auctions, managed the launch of two very successful club
high altitude balloons, and have assisted the Repeater
Committee & the DSTAR Committee as they install and
maintain the club’s various repeaters & DSTAR systems
over the years. I participate in the club’s weekly
Sunday night net, and I support the ECRT program & other
club activities on a regular basis. As the club’s
webmaster, I promoted club transparency by building club
web pages which provide monthly detailed Membership &
Treasurer reports (T.R. no longer being used) for our
club members. Since I do not belong to any other ham
radio club, my loyalty & focus is only on the FWARC. |

Bryan
Tuey-KG7ODF: My name is Bryan Tuey. I’ve been
involved in HAM radio since 2014 and a member of FWARC
since 2017. I obtained my current license as an extra in
2018. My professional background is in Civil Engineering
and hold a Professional Engineers license in the state
of Washington. My educational background consists of a
BS in Civil Engineering from St. Martin’s University, an
MBA and Masters Certificate in Project Management from
Keller Graduate School. During my career I’ve been
involved in numerous accounting processes that include
preparing million dollar contractor progress payments
along with the documentation of materials and work used
to prepare these progress payments. It is my
desire and vision to see the FWARC return to a place
where members can come and share HAM radio technology
and more importantly enjoy the camaraderie of other
members. It would be great to attend meetings and not
have ongoing discussions on whether club expenditures
were authorized, needed Bylaw changes, and discussions
on Robert’s Rules of Order. I believe it is the next
Treasurer’s duty to return the club to monthly financial
reporting (as outlined in the Bylaws) and an accounting
system that eliminates any ambiguity or uncertainty in
the accounting procedures. If elected Treasurer, I
intend to do just that. With your approval, I
would be happy bring my experience and education to the
office of Treasurer for the FWARC. |

Perry Angiono–WB7NIL:
I grew up in Edmonds WA and obtained by Ham Radio Novice
ticket in 4/1976, upgraded to General in 1977 and Extra
in 1/2021. I retired from the US Coast Guard after 22
years of service in Telecommunications, serving aboard
both heavy CG Icebreakers and a High Endurance Cutter
out of Seattle. I continue to serve our country working
for the DOD. I would like to see the club to focus
on growth in its membership through recruiting new hams
of all ages, and providing them with an Elmer program
that promotes technical education and instruction, EMCOM
programs, and to improve our online marketing.

Robinson-KJ7LSA: I have been a ham since January
2020 and a member of the club since March 2020 (the last
in person meeting we had). Got my General ticket in July
2020. My first contact was with Rich KC7DZD and he
encouraged me to join. I have started to do my ECRT

expanding my ham knowledge wherever I can. I operate a
Kenwood V71 as my home UHF/VHF rig. I have a Baofeng

meetings doing what I can to help the club.
