Barb is our beautifully positive and incredibly passionate secretary. She has been a loyal and valued member of the Quicksilver Connections Group for over two decades, consolidating and sharing her passion for the well being of the ocean and all it’s inhabitants. Barb is a strong advocate for fairness and equality and believes a healthy future for all is only possible if we get up and do something about it now! She is tireless in her efforts to prove plastic is a mismanaged treasure and has found her calling as the Mainstay of the Plastics Pirate’s crew to repair the damage humanity has caused. Barb wholeheartedly (and hers is huge), believes in the preservation of the oceans as life source, both for present and future generations. We are eternally grateful that people like Barb still exist in the world and would not be where we are today without her. Thank you Barb
Jess has a lust for designing and 'making' things that make life better. When he's not saving lives as a Registered Advanced Care Paramedic II, Jess combines creativity and compulsion to bring ideas to reality which make life better and save, not just his patients, but the world as a whole! His added backgrounds in electrical, metalworking, product design, melting plastic & 3D printing, 3D printer design and carpentry make him an indispensable part of the Plastics Pirate crew.
Jess has also won awards as a Barista, which prove to be an important part in keeping our band of Pirates alert and in front. (He is also in strong competition with our Medical Director in the ale brewing category) and loves to win the game. He is a 'doer', energetic, smart and lots of fun to be around.
