Dr. Paul Sheeran
Board Secretary
Newly retired after 33 years of practicing dentistry, most recently with the CDCR, Paul has hosted a classical music show on KDRT, Dr. Paul's Classics, for the last three years. Paul says, "I have been listening to classical music on the radio for the past 40 years. I am currently of the Board of Directors and a member of the Executive Committee for DMA. It is my belief that presenting classical music on the radio is the best way to educate the public about this often arcane subject. The greater understanding we have of the beauty of classical music, the greater will be our love of this art."

Autumn Labbe-Renault
Executive Director, Davis Media Access; DMA Board of Directors ex officio
At my core, I'm a community activist who believes that strong communities need constant care, dissenting voices and forums for healthy dialogue. "Finding" community media nearly 15 years ago let me put all of that into action on a daily basis. Building DMA into a healthy and vibrant community resource is a huge passion for me.
Our work at DMA is collaborative, open, engaging, fun, and done for community benefit. I work with an awesome community of staff, board and volunteers. I've served this organization as Assistant Director, Director of Operations, and since 2006, its Executive Director. I produce programming for DCTV Channel 15, including local election programming, and have hosted public affairs programming on KDRT.
My monthly column on media and telecommunications is published in The Davis Enterprise the last Thursday of each month and I’ve also been published in a wide range of media journals, online media, and other periodicals.
I'm in my second year as a board member of the Alliance for Community Media Western Region Board and participate in a regional collaboration between seven Northern California community media centers.

Darrick Servis
Director of Operations, DMA Board of Directors Staff Representative
I've been working at Davis Media Access for over 10 years. Before that I was involved with radio station KDVS. I spend most of my time here working on finances, operations, information technology and the repair, installation and integration of all of our equipment.
I have been a linux zealot since 1996 and code on a number of open source projects. Most recently the radio station automation suite, Rivendell.
I like my work because I believe free and diverse expression is an important part of our culture. It heightens the quality of discourse and helps us all continue to grow, learn and experience new things.
