TCBA President, Backyard Beekeeper of 8 years. Beekeeping mentor, I love learning new and interesting topics in beekeeping. Interests: Beekeeping, SCUBA Diving, hunting, fishing, engineering, and learning new things.

Vice- President

John Moss

I have been keeping bees for 7 seasons and currently have 13 colonies. Beekeeping has allowed our family to build a small business where we sell honey, candles and other products.

I was a Trustee with the Trumbull County Beekeepers Association for 3+ years. I have led the club's Beginning Beekeeping class for the past 4 years. I have mentored many new beekeepers and love sharing information. I am always willing to talk about beekeeping!

Secretary

Jackie Crouser

I am fairly new to beekeeping but a lifelong observer and admirer of bees. I love that there is always something new to learn and watching them thrive is very rewarding. I have many hobbies including collecting and restoring classic VWs, quilting, machine embroidery, and gardening, but my absolute favorite hobby is tending to and talking about bees.

Treasurer

Trustee

Jim Heiligenberg

I'm an engineer who raised five boys and now it's all about the bees---my girls. As a new"bee" to this fascinating hobby, it's amazing how, in just a year, I'm already rambling on and on to anyone who'll listen (or so my wife tells me). I've enjoyed building both horizontal and vertical hives. I look forward to sharing my knowledge as I learn.
