The Ventura Pier is the symbol of Ventura's history along the California coast. When I stand on the pier, I not only view the ever-changing panorama of the city but I can also get a sense of Ventura's place in the midst of the coastline and the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.
The pier has always been a landmark to guide travelers whether in horse- drawn carts or by car on Highwy 101.
In this tough economy, there is an assurance that is given by the historic pier. It stands over the city and silently gives us the reassurance that no matter how things change there is a history and a sense of stability that remains in our charming city.
It is a privilege to serve on the Pier into the Future board of directors and to be instrumental in ensuring the Ventura Pier remains a treasured resource for generations to come.
I have been fortunate to have provided creative oversight to many pier projects through my work with the city of Ventura and Pier into the Future.
My most memorable works include the Ventura Pier signs at the end of the structure and the colorful interpretive panels found on the pier. It is also my honor to have contributed to the pier campaign through the design of unique note cards depicting Ventura landmarks, including the pier.
Pier into the Future remains committed to preserving our treasured pier and I hope you will join us by supporting the pier at the 17th annual Pier Under the Stars on Oct. 2
