  • A Personal Evolution in Political Vision with Steve Kling, Software Architect, Army Veteran, and... My Older Brother
    After the fateful day of September 11th, 2001, my brother Steven Kling placed his career in IT on hold, joining a Special Operations unit of the U.S. Army known as Civil Affairs. Its mission: to protect refugees and rebuild societies torn apart by war. Steven served two combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and is a recipient of the Bronze Star, the Combat Action Badge and the Joint Services Commendation Medal. Steven left the Reserve after 11 years of distinguished service, serving as both enlisted and officer, and achieving the rank of Captain. These days he enjoys a mostly quiet country life in Dripping Springs, Texas with his wife and twin boys, however, the current political environment has motivated him to protect his community in a new capacity as a political activist and former candidate, charged with the passion to reform corruption at the state level, bolster public education, and fight systemic oppression.

  • A Global Lifelong Love Affair with Textiles with Heather Bache, Fashion Designer, Multimedia Artist, and Planetary Citizen

    Heather Bache was Born in Melbourne, Australia where she began what was to become a lifelong love affair with textiles. At 23 Heather left Melbourne with a backpack and headed north. Without access to a sewing machine, she started to make her clothes with hand stitches. After doing a few fashion shows in her home country in Australia, she moved to South India and worked extensively with one of then local tailors for the next seven years, while sometimes being involved with a local Reforestation and Village Development project there. At 37 Heather then moved to the USA, married her longterm partner, and reinvented herself as a dressmaker to make a living. They moved to Central Texas where she rediscovered her love of design and started working in the fashion industries, creating garments and costumes for fashion and film. Heather launched her own brand OTSU in 2015, an archaic Japanese word, that means, "witty, romantic, quirky, odd and tasty." When Covid hit, she went to work making masks for family and friends, and eventually decided to start using some of the fabrics and yarns she had collected over a lifetime from her world travels. Currently she is focusing her design work on knit and crochet wear.
