Staff
Joe Millon, Executive Director
Joe joined netCorps in 1999, after three decades of business experience in Eugene. He has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Oregon. In between his design and building projects, he found time to learn computer skills, starting with an old CPM computer. His non profit experience includes volunteering with several environmental groups, and serving as a board member, and as president of the Emerald Valley Development Professionals. Joe assumed the Executive Director position in 2011.
When he is not doing the netCorps thing, he is usually brewing beer, playing Ultimate Frisbee, windsurfing, cycling, and chasing his kids.
Hal Noble, Technology Consultant
Hal has a B.S. in Computer Science and Technology and has worked in the computer field for the past 20 years as a system administrator, software project manager, database manager, programmer and independent consultant. He has served on the board of directors for a nonprofit charter school.
Hal promotes the idea that we are all one, that there is enough for all of us if we just use it properly, and that all mystery cables end *somewhere*. He lives in the country outside of Eugene where he and his family raise draft horses and heirloom apples. When not fixing computers or fences, Hal enjoys hiking and bicycling, or, sometimes, just standing in his field.
Poppy Lochridge, Technology Consultant
Poppy started fiddling with computers in grade school, in order to put MadLibs on the school computer. She changed her mind about working with computers several times over the years, until the day when, arms deep in a laser printer looking for a tiny scrap of paper that had gotten jammed in the fuser unit, someone asked her why she didn't work with computers for a living.
On the way, she received a B.A. in Psychology from Boston University, took real estate courses at Temple University, and computer repair coursework online from Eastern Idaho Technical College. She has a total of 6 years of experience in the non-profit industry and 10 years in technology. Her favorite hobbies are reading, reading, and photography.
Michelle Perino, Bookkeeper
Michelle has been active in the non-profit industry for over 20 years. She holds a B.S. in Business from Southern Illinois University.
Michelle is active as a homeschooler and 4H Leader. She enjoys working on her farm with her goats and chickens, splitting wood, gardening and canning. Her favorite past-time is spending an evening reading out-loud to her family.
Ayla Abbott, Intern
Declaring herself "just the intern" Ayla has developed a phlegmatic acceptance, and indeed, enjoyment, of all tasks repetitive, uninteresting, monotonous, and, ultimately, vital. After 20 hours of staring at Windows Updates status bars Ayla experienced a status-bar-trance and came to realize the interconnectedness off all things...unless, of course, one has messed up the cabling. She now spends time delving into the great mystery that is computing in hopes that she too will one day understand why your website, email, or privileges are "just gone!"
Ayla graduated from the University of Oregon with a Master's Degree in Conflict & Dispute Resolution. She volunteers with the Technology Services of Bethel School District, and serves on the Board of Directors at Community Mediation Services.
Matthew Latterell, Alumni Emeritus
Matthew has over twenty years experience in the world of nonprofit and higher education technology planning, assistance and management. Matthew joined the netCorps Board in 1997 and served as President of the Board from 1998-2000. Prior to becoming the ED of netCorps in 2001, Matthew worked as the Assistant Dean for Educational and Information Technology at the University of Oregon School of Law. Since stepping down as ED in 2011, Matthew is spending more time with his family, while continuing to assist netCorps with technology projects.
Matthew lives Portland, Oregon, where he lives with his wife and daughters. When not eating, breathing and dreaming about nonprofit uses of technology, Matthew enjoys gardening, bike rides and sampling local brews and restaurants (Matthew is also the co-author of The Brewpub Explorer of the Pacific Northwest). Although lately it seems all energy is going in to fixing up the house and yard.
