#262 David Ehnebuske ~ Tech Pioneer
(Airdate: April 1, 2025) Maryanne interviews David Ehnebuske, a tech pioneer and long-time IBM trouble shooter. David had assignments that took him around the globe — China, India, Western Europe, Japan and many other destinations. When living in New Mexico his wife taught at a predominantly Navajo high school. This was yet another cultural learning curve. In fact, that’s what David loves the most — learning about different cultures. Now that he’s in PT he’s part of the team that has been restoring the Point Wilson Lighthouse. His curiosity is endless and he loves a challenge, whether restoring lighthouses or building specialized cameras.
