A fifth generation native California refugee, Buck has been a resident, ardent supporter and active community member of Clark County for the last 33 years. Trained as a research scientist at Humboldt State University he has a deep love of the outdoors. A former Hewlett-Packard employee, weekdays you can now find him working with business owners in his role as Certified Business Advisor with the Washington Small Business Development Center. He sits on a variety of boards and committees and is an active Rotarian serving as District Governor (1999-2000).

Personal interests include first and foremost his wife and family, and then photography, gardening, woodworking, fishing, and enology...as time allows. Buck feels it is an honor and privilege to serve as a Commissioner for Clark County Fire District 3, one of the best managed and most responsible fire services in the region.
