I was born on May 2, 1973 in Mishawaka, Indiana. My family roots are German, Irish and English, with the Rebers being traced back to Langenselbold, Germany in the 1700s. I graduated from Cranbrook Kingswood High School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in 1991. When I settled in Eugene, I completed my Bachelor’s of Science at the University of Oregon after first receiving an Associate’s degree from the Energy Management Program at Lane Community College. Later I received a certificate in river restoration design from Portland State University.
South Lane County has been my home for the past decade where I work in water resource management as Executive Director of a local nonprofit with a staff of four. We focus on implementing habitat projects for native fish and wildlife, policy issues related to water quality, and involving the community in these issues.
My travel experience includes 5 weeks in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2005 in a family and community-center oriented experience and living in London for a month with a friend’s family when I was young. I enjoy many outdoor activities including multi-day rafting and camping trips, cultural events, as well as local foods and wine with friends and family.
