Growing up in the majestic redwoods of Humboldt County, Gregg Foster has stories that'll transport you to the days of yore and incite a hunger for humble community beginnings. Stroll down memory lane with us as we explore Greg's childhood in Miranda CA, his transformation from a South Fork High student to a lobbyist for student interests, and his numerous professional escapades. Our laughter is as rich as the history we're discussing; from local football rivalries to early modem-based document transmissions, this episode is a treasure trove of nostalgia, innovation, and good old-fashioned hometown pride.
Venture into the heart of Ferndale with us, discovering the magnetic charm of its Victorian heritage and the vital role businesses like Six Rivers Brewery in McKinleyville CA play in weaving the fabric of Humboldt County's growth. Gregg, a jack-of-all-trades, delves into his lending expertise, revealing the joy of fueling local dreams and the intricate dance between cooperation and competition among community lenders. It's a fascinating peek behind the curtain of small-town success, where every handshake and freshly brewed coffee signifies a deeper connection within this vibrant Northern Californian enclave.
As we wrap up our conversation, we cast a spotlight on the persistent efforts to enhance local air services and the legacy of broadband development that has catapulted Humboldt into the digital age. Gregg's collection of political memorabilia not only showcases his enthusiasm for our nation's political journey but also invites you to share in the quirky delight of campaign buttons and bumper stickers.
