Board of Directors
President & FounderBill Cameron
Bill is a life-long taker-apart of things. Whether it's held together by screws, clips, or anything but the strongest of glues, chances are he's had it open, either to fix it, to collect spare parts, or just to satisfy his curiosity. This, of course, led him to employment fixing cars, cell phones, computers, and copiers, and ever-changing hobbies including analog photography, vintage typewriters, lockpicking, and 3d printing.
Experiences attending Maker Faire and the Hackers on Planet Earth conference, along with his youngest son's creativity and enthusiasm for mechanical exploration, and his eldest son’s independence & self-determination inspired Bill to envision a makerspace/hackerspace/community workshop and start on this quest to found MakeFixHack.
Bill hosts Talk & Tinker Tuesdays.

Founding Board Member, Treasurer
Brandon Hartshorn
There's video evidence of Brandon, under 3 ft tall, helping his dad fix the VCR. That may have been the start to his lifelong love of taking things apart, sometimes fixing them, and other times making things from the scraps. Nowadays, his fascination with creation and repair is motivated by a deep desire for a slower, more sustainable, and more resilient society. Often idealistic to a fault, Brandon hopes to see every person empowered to repair and create their own tools and art.
Brandon hosts Member Hours every other Thursday.
