Instructions: Per the Bylaws, each candidate for the Board of Directors must submit a signed Statement of Intent. There are no requirements on the content, but typically it includes your Name, Goals, and Commitments.

I, Thomas Fagan, am submitting my Statement of Intent to run for the Board of Directors.

    I'm excited about the progress DMS has made towards being a creative space for individuals and teams to learn, imagine, and develop ideas into physical manifestations.

Things you should know about me.

1. I place the Dallas Makerspace, its accessibility, its existence, and its members' safety as the highest priority.  In short there may be hurt feelings if required to ensure all of those objectives are met.  
2. I am extremely positive and generally friendly
3. I do NOT sugarcoat things.  If anyone, myself included, is behaving in a dangerous or in an "Un-Excellent" manner I will let them, or myself, know in no-uncertain terms and in the most expedient method available.

Where you'd find me at the space.

I'm usually in the machine shop, automotive area, metal shop, or occasionally the glass area or woodshop.

My background and skillset.

I am an Electrical Engineer by degree working as a systems engineer with a long work history design engineering, project engineering and systems engineering.

Things I'll strive to achieve as a board member.

• Advance the maker experience by ensuring the makerspace remains a place for the membership to build/create with minimal encumbrances of a shared space
• Improve upon the progress we've made as a community in creating a safe inviting well-equipped workspace for members to learn, create, and build.
• Help make the volunteering and teaching experience easier and pleasant
• Lower the impact of unforeseen obstacles while capitalizing on the opportunities
