Biography

My Interest in Nature: Early Influences

LA JOLLA Many factors have contributed to my interest in nature, water, and particularly aquatic organisms. As a youth growing up in La Jolla, California, I spent many hours bodysurfing, playing in tide pools, and participating in other beach oriented activities. As a teenager I took up surfing, a sport for which my passion remains. The legendary Scripps Institution of Oceanography, a dominating presence in La Jolla for many years, was a major influence on my interest in the environment and my decision to pursue studies in the aquatic sciences.

THE TRANSFORMATION My interest in biology and wilderness was also influenced by San Diego County's evolution from a collection of pleasant Southern California beach towns surrounded by open space, to an extension of the huge megalopolis that now stretches from Ventura, California through Los Angeles all the way to Tijuana, Mexico. I unfortunately witnessed the rapid transformation of San Diego's remaining countryside into what are presently industrial complexes, shopping malls, tract housing and condominiums. This extreme alteration in the landscape has strongly stimulated my concern for maintaining a balance between urban/suburban development and existing wilderness.

Academia and Employment

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA , SAN DIEGO AND SANTA BARBARA After graduating from La Jolla High School (1976), I remained in La Jolla for my first two years of college, where I studied biology at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). I then transferred to the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), which offered an undergraduate program that covered both marine and limnological aspects of aquatic biology. Before graduating from UCSB (1980), I gained experience in such areas as phycology, photosynthesis, aquatic chemistry and physics, and invertebrate zoology. I also received my advanced scuba diving certification, which enabled me to volunteer as a research scuba diver at UCSB. In addition, I became involved in an independent study project involving photomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy of diatoms.

BROOKS INSTITUTE OF PHOTOGRAPHY These experiences influenced my decision to attend Santa Barbara's Brooks Institute of Photography in the hope of eventually combining biological and photographic skills in my career. While attending Brooks, I majored in industrial/scientific photography, which served as a strong introduction to many diverse aspects of the medium. In addition to investigating photographic techniques used in industry and science, my classmates and I completed various assignments involving illustration and portraiture. I also took part in a six-month underwater photography program taught by some of Jacques Cousteau's diver/photographers, in which a group of us studied photography on diving excursions to the Channel Islands, located about twenty-two miles south of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. While attending Brooks, I completed publications design courses at nearby Santa Barbara City College.

SALK INSTITUTE, PHOTIC, AND THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION After graduating from Brooks (1983), I moved back to La Jolla and worked as custom printer at two different organizations; the Developmental Neurobiology Laboratory at Salk Institute in La Jolla; and Photic, a photographic factory in San Diego. After almost a year of slaving over photographic equipment in dark closets (1984), I was offered a job as regional public affairs photographer for the Bureau of Reclamation's Lower Missouri Region, which at that time was headquartered at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado (1985). It was not quite biology, but it was a photographic beginning in a water-related discipline. While at the Bureau, in addition to various still photography jobs, I worked on an hour-long film promoting the attributes of various hydro-projects along the North Platte River in Wyoming. Shortly after the film was completed, the Bureau

1

consolidated its Upper and Lower Missouri Regions, eliminated my positions (as well as three-hundred others), and offered me the same Regional Photographer position in the new Missouri Region based in Billings, Montana.

RED ROCKS COMMUNITY COLLEGE, THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF DENVER, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT DENVER After much deliberation I passed up the job offer, deciding that life in Billings was not for me. I instead chose to fill various gaps in my knowledge through courses at Red Rocks Community College in Golden, Colorado, as well as the University of Colorado at Denver and the Community College of Denver, both located in downtown Denver. By this time it had become obvious that a strong understanding of computer science was necessary for success in just about any field, particularly in biology and photography. While obtaining a two-year degree in Computer Science from Red Rocks Community College (1987), I learned to program in five languages, rounded out my background in various subject areas such as geology and recording engineering, and completed a videography internship with a local television station in Denver.

GREENPEACE Upon completion of these projects, I moved to Boulder, Colorado. There, out of concern for the environment, no doubt a direct consequence of my biological education and a lifetime of viewing marine wildlife growing up in La Jolla, I worked as a canvasser for the conservation organization Greenpeace (1987). In addition to serving as a platform for improving the planet's environmental situation, the experience turned out to be a strong opportunity for developing speaking skills. One of the most difficult jobs in the world is to canvass door-to-door, asking generally apathetic people to donate hard-earned cash for improving the planet's well being, when they are much more concerned with life's daily hardships. Toiling as a Greenpeace canvasser was not for the light-hearted or the easily frustrated.

UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT BOULDER: CENTER FOR LIMNOLOGY While working for Greenpeace, I prepared to enter graduate school by attending courses in remote sensing, geographic information systems, and computer programming at the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU). There, as a part of a remote sensing digital analysis course, I co-authored a paper in which we used satellite imagery to search a desert area in central Tanzania for possible water drilling sites. After completing that project, I accepted a graduate student position to the department of Aerospace Engineering in the hope of combining satellite imagery with aquatic biology. After a short time there, I transferred to CU's department of Environmental, Population, and Organismic Biology (EPOB), where I worked as a graduate student at the department's Center for Limnology. For my Masters thesis project, I studied reflectance and absorption spectrometry of components in Colorado Front Range reservoirs. Analyses of this sort are valuable because various components in lakes, including chlorophyll, dissolved organic carbon, and tripton, act as strong indicators of water quality. After my graduation from CU (1994), my advisors and I published a condensed version of the thesis in a journal that specializes in remote sensing applications. As a part of the graduate program at CU, I gained teaching experience while working as a teacher's assistant in stream biology and general biology.

OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY

Like most graduates, I expected to enter the job market after receiving my diploma from CU. However, while working as a graduate student in EPOB, I realized the need to round out my background by adding basic business skills to my credentials. As an alternative to entering the working world, I enrolled in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. Although this experience lasted a relatively short sixteen months, my graduation (1995) marked the final stepping-stone toward gaining a balanced background in science, art, and business. The MBA experience should allow me to better combine my background in biology, imagery, and computer science, with the business and management skills necessary to function in today's organizations.

SANTA BARBARA REAL ESTATE After graduating from OSU I moved south to one of my favorite towns, Santa Barbara, California where I previously spent five years attending UCSB and Brooks Institute. There, in an effort to learn the real estate investment business as a "second career", I purchased a triplex and acted as my own general contractor on that building, eventually living there for a number of years.

CONCEPTION COAST PROJECT During the same time, I, and others, co-founded the Conception Coast Project, a nonprofit environmental organization that was originally devoted to connecting ecosystems via core areas, corridors and ecological buffer zones. The CCP, as it is referred to, was set up to emphasize bioregionalism and multiple watershed approaches to conservation. It survives today, primarily as a contracting firm providing geographic information system maps to a variety of organizations in California's South-Central Coast region.

MORE REAL ESTATE As a follow up to my first real estate project, I purchased a duplex fixer-upper in Santa Barbara and worked with an architect and contractor to reconstruct the property, effectively performing new construction on a building that was originally constructed just

2

after the 1925 earthquake in Santa Barbara. The project, now fairly close to completion, was much more expensive than originally anticipated, and unfortunately dashed my aspirations of providing high-quality, "green-building" rentals to Santa Barbara and other markets. That said I still hope to stay in the real estate investment business. I now live in that property and work with a management agency to rent the triplex and the remaining duplex unit. In addition to the Santa Barbara properties, I also own two rental properties in Incline Village, Nevada (Lake Tahoe) and work with a local property management company there as well.

SANTA BARBARA CITY COLLEGE: SCHOOL OF MEDIA ARTS As I focused on the environment and real estate over the years, I missed working with images and sorely needed to upgrade my digital imagery skills. It just so happened that Santa Barbara City College created their School of Media Arts (SOMA), a very diverse multimedia program, on par with (and much cheaper than) many of our better four-year university programs. So, the last few years I have been taking advantage of that program through coursework in illustration, photography, web and graphic arts design, and more recently, audio and video production and editing. I intend to continue at SBCC, adding cinematography and computer animation techniques to this skill set, and hope to gain employment combining my science, business, and digital image skills as one diverse package.

MY DEFINITIVE JOB: A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY Although, I am not naive enough to expect to combine all my skills in an employment situation, I would like to provide an idea of my ultimate job, which wouldn't really be as much of a job as it would be a learning opportunity. In effect, the following serves as a "mission statement" for my career aspirations ... "I am striving to integrate skills in aquatic biology, imagery, and business toward a career working on multimedia projects that lead to the protection of native biodiversity via connections between ecological integrity, economic sustainability, and cultural diversity. I would like to focus on portfolio-oriented projects combining high-definition still and cinematic photography, illustration and graphic design, animation, geographic information systems and remote sensing imagery, surround-sound audio, and creative and technical writing. And, in the effort to improve my skill level in these myriad subject areas, I hope to work with people who are better than I am, at what I do."

Work Experience

CO-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR / BOARD MEMBER: CONCEPTION COAST PROJECT I co-founded the CCP; a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the ecological integrity of California’s South-Central Coast. As I developed my background in biology, I became strongly concerned with the biodiversity loss and extinction problems we are both facing and causing. To me the solution lies in what I call "big-picture conservation" ... creating vast ecological reserve networks composed of core areas, corridors, and buffer zones. As such, I co-founded (along with others) the Conception Coast Project (CCP), a nonprofit environmental organization that, at the time, was devoted to connecting ecosystems throughout and beyond California's South-Central Coast Region via big-picture conservation, bioregionalism and multiple watershed approaches. The CCP survives today as a contracting firm providing geographic information system maps and related services to a variety of organizations in our region.

MONEY/ARENZ FOUNDATION My grandfather, John Marshall Money, founded and funded our family foundation, the Money/Arenz Foundation. I, along with my mother Betty Anne Arenz, sister Julie Anne Tifft, and brother John Marshall Arenz, distribute funds to a wide variety of nonprofit organizations. Our family focus tends to lean toward, but is definitely not limited to, education based nonprofit organizations. My philanthropy is focused primarily toward support of cutting-edge environmental organizations, but is also directed toward ecological-based college-level education projects. In the future, I expect to narrow my focus toward organizations creating and supporting ecological reserve designs connecting land with sea. Our foundation is associated with Wachovia Bank (formerly First Union) in Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia.

John Money was a successful civil engineer, rising to become President and eventually Chairman of the Board, of the Hardaway Construction Company (previously called Hardaway Contracting Company), based in Columbus, Georgia. He and my grandmother, Lorraine Money, lived most of their lives together in Columbus.

REGIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER: BUREAU OF RECLAMATION; LOWER MISSOURI REGION At the time I worked for the Bureau of Reclamation at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado, its Lower Missouri Region covered four states; Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas. In the position of Regional Photographer for the public affairs office of that region, it was my responsibility to travel throughout the region and take photographs of various water projects and the rivers on which they were constructed. In our office, I primarily worked with one assistant who acted as both a secretary and a darkroom aide. While employed with the Bureau, I worked with a contract photographer on a one-hour long film promoting the attributes of various hydro-projects along the North Platte River in Wyoming.

TEACHER'S ASSISTANT: UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO; DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL, POPULATION, AND ORGANISMIC BIOLOGY As a graduate student in the department of Environmental, Population, and Organismic Biology at the University of Colorado, I taught laboratories in Stream Biology and the first and second semesters of General Biology. Although I was classified as a part-time "teaching assistant", conducting the stream biology course was close to a full time occupation. I prepared lessons, gave lectures, gathered equipment from various locations around town, and planned and carried out field trips. The pressure to teach a good course was increased by the fact that many fellow graduate students and upper division students attended the lab. The introductory general biology laboratory courses were more structured than the stream biology laboratory. However, developing lesson plans and means of grading for three general biology laboratory sections per week still required a great deal of time and effort.

Sports Activities For me, sporting activities have always been a main source of enjoyment and satisfaction. They provide a healthy workout, help create a positive frame of mind, and tend to be just plain fun. In addition, sports provide some of the best ways to release stress built-up from the pressures of work and school. In choosing a locale, I always look for the opportunity to balance employment undertakings with various recreational pursuits. I hope to someday live where both ocean and mountain oriented sports can be performed with some frequency. At the same time, I am aware that compromises are necessary regarding work and the various sports that one may pursue.

SURFING, SCUBA DIVING, AND SAILBOARDING Since moving back to Santa Barbara, I have become reacquainted with surfing, and hope to pursue scuba diving and sailboarding; three sports that I put aside upon leaving California more than a decade ago. Although surfing standing river waves was enormous fun while landlocked in Colorado and Oregon, I have enjoyed getting back to "real" surfing - in the ocean. For anyone who is wondering, the desire to surf does not go away upon moving inland. You think about it every single day, no matter how long you are away.

I have not yet involved myself in sailing and diving since coming back to Santa Barbara. During the 1970's, I became one of twenty or thirty windsurfers in the San Diego area, and dreamed of a time when the sport would grow to what it is today. But while in Colorado, I turned away from sailboarding because of its sporadic wind situation. However, I do look forward to the challenge of bringing out the sailboard again. Strangely enough, Colorado has more scuba divers per capita than just about any other state. Unfortunately, the actual scuba diving in Colorado leaves much to be desired. Due to the time constraints of my extremely consuming MBA program, I did not have the opportunity to don the tank and regulator in Oregon either. In the near future, I plan to reacquaint myself with scuba diving and, hopefully, underwater photography. And, I hope to somehow work scuba diving into my employment situation as well.

SKIING AND KAYAKING I also hope to become more active in skiing and kayaking; two sports that dominated my free time in Colorado, and with which I had hoped to spend more time in Oregon were it not for my MBA program. While in Colorado, I was involved with the volunteer ski patrol at Eldora Mountain Resort near Boulder. In addition, for a number of years I served as a coach for the Kayak Club, a part of the Club Sports program at the University of Colorado. I am now exploring options for becoming involved in similar organizations while living in Santa Barbara.

YOGA While in Oregon, I experienced major back problems, culminating in a herniated L5-S1 disc during the last quarter of my MBA program. After moving to California, I used yoga as therapy over the four-year healing process to recover from this injury. I’ve continued the practice ever since, and certainly intend yoga to be a primary focus. I now practice Mysore style Ashtanga at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center, and one of these days hope to get to the second series. Regarding that goal, as any yoga guru will tell you, don’t hold your breath!

Sports / Work Experience

KAYAK CLUB: UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO CLUB SPORTS The Kayak Club at the University of Colorado, Boulder is a part of Club Sports, a division of the campus Recreation Center set up to conduct all of the school's non-varsity sports. For a number of years I was a coach with the Kayak Club. This volunteer position entailed teaching kayaking techniques, running river trips, and dealing with recreation center politics. Besides knowing a thing or two about kayaking, the position required strong water safety qualifications and swift water rescue experience. The Kayak Club was different from most other clubs in that we did not take part in school competition. Instead the club was primarily set up to teach beginning kayaking techniques and to provide availability for winter pool practice. In addition, the Kayak Club conducted a number of official school trips, including an annual weeklong excursion over spring break.

SKI PATROL: ELDORA MOUNTAIN RESORT While in Colorado I became an Emergency Medical Technician, completed a Winter Emergency Care course, and joined the Eldora Mountain Resort Ski Patrol near Nederland, Colorado. Although skiing is generally thought of as a recreational occupation rather than something to be taken seriously, a position on any ski patrol is one of great responsibility. At Eldora, as with all Colorado Ski Areas, the patrollers were always ready to deal with an emergency situation. Each patrol day consisted of arising before dawn, making sure one was ready to ski an hour before the lift opened, patrolling all day, and taking part in sweep procedures after closing time. The patroller's day lasted even longer if an injury occurred toward closing time, or if night skiing was on the agenda. I usually dealt with two to four injury situations on a typical patrol day. Fortunately, I never did encounter a life threatening injury. Nevertheless, careful preparation and attention to responsibility were vital because injuries occur on a frequent basis at any ski area.

Commitments

School

SANTA BARBARA CITY COLLEGE I presently attend Santa Barbara City College full time, and am primarily taking courses through the School of Media Arts. My focus is on various aspects of multimedia including illustration, photography, web and graphic arts design, and more recently, audio and video production and editing. I hope to continue at SBCC, adding cinematography and computer animation techniques to this skill set.

Philanthropy

MONEY/ARENZ FOUNDATION I presently serve on the Board of Directors of my family foundation; the Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia based Money/Arenz Foundation. Other than meeting annually, we perform most foundation business long-distance.

Real Estate

SANTA BARBARA AND LAKE TAHOE I currently own four income properties, a duplex (my present residence) and a triplex in Santa Barbara, as well as a duplex and a sixplex in Incline Village, Nevada. To minimize my time commitment, all of these properties are managed by professional real estate management agencies.

We are in the final phases of completing a major construction project on the duplex where I presently live.
