Jack Forinash

Jack’s role at Blue Sky Center - and in the Cuyama Valley as a community member - has focused on seeking a definition of Cuyama that is quantified, verified, and self-determined. With an attention to detail and a love of spreadsheets, Jack focuses rural development discussions on the importance of data in communicating the human experience of a place. For the past sixteen years, Jack has preferred to make his home in towns of 1,000 or less, believing that by having the opportunity to know everyone by face and name they have the best chance to exhibit a civil society.
