Our volunteers come from all walks of life. Above is volunteer Fabian Dominguez. This picture was taken in Albuquerque just before he left for his summer trip to Guatemala. He is a computer analyst for Farmer's Insurance here in Austin, Texas. He also is an advanced reader and calligrapher of Maya Glyphs!!! During the 2009 meetings, he went above and beyond the call of duty by helping us keep our computers running and our slide projectors projecting. To tell you the truth, we sort of pulled him in many directions at once. But as you can see in the photo, he is still in one piece. Thanks Fabian!
This hairy and friendly fellow is Jim Chiavaroli. At one of our 2009 organizational meetings he unwittingly volunteered to be our Audio/Visual Team Leader. We drafted him into taking this job after we found out that he had a knack with computers and projectors. And guess what - he is also a talented Austin tattoo artist who spent several years in the Yucatan where he fell in love with ancient Maya art and glyphs. He is now a beginning glyph reader and an advanced Maya iconographic artist. His advanced artist tallent is partly due to the fact that he has been practicing on people's skin for some time now. He can give you an awesome Maya art tattoo if you like. Just like Fabian, he did an awesome job helping us with keeping our computers and projectors running during the meetings. I remember that he was frequently at our volunteer/administration desk asking what needed to be done next. Muchas gracias Jim!
