Philip Krain: Garage Steward
My job as the Garage Steward is to help members and the community enjoy working and meeting at the space. The list and range of responsibilities is endless. Most times, I'm fixing up the building, working on our tools or supporting members. When given the opportunity, I love to do marketing and coordinate events that would be enjoyed by those in the community. If you have a question, just ask!
