Mike Patterson / Treasurer

Mike is a retired professional engineer bringing analytical and organizational skills to the team.

It is becoming ever more important for individuals to develop self-awareness, equanimity and inner peace in their lives.

He is excited to be part of an organization that promotes these personal and communal traits.
