Todd Barker

Todd, a dedicated native Oregonian, boasts a distinguished thirty-year career in Information Technology, serving as a Data Architect & Data Scientist for esteemed organizations such as AT&T Wireless, Intel Corporation, and Kaiser Permanente. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Communications from Oregon State University and a Master's in Predictive Analytics from Northwestern University, he consistently advocates for fact-based decision-making, embodying a commitment to fostering an informed risk-taking culture.

Complementing his professional pursuits, Todd generously contributes his IT skills to three non-profit organizations: his parent’s church, his wife’s Woman Marines Association (WMA-OR1), and the Pacific Northwest Lineman Rodeo Association, actively raising donations for the Oregon Burn Center. Locally, he was a committed supporter of the Dog Park initiative and collaborated proactively with Lincoln City staff to implement solutions for reducing foot & vehicle traffic on the north end of Roads End.

Married to Raquel, a retired Sergeant of the United States Marine Corps, and they share their home with their three cherished dogs: Maisy, Nymeria, and Stella. They take pride in being parents to two adult children and grandparents to two grandchildren. Beyond their family life, Todd and Raquel are avid motorcyclists and passionate board gamers, hosting monthly board game weekends for friends. During the summer months, Raquel can often be spotted walking their dogs on the beach, on a quest to find those elusive “floats,” while in winter, Todd channels his creativity by building and painting miniatures for their various board games.

Todd’s profound love for the Oregon Coast has been a lifelong passion, ignited by annual childhood family vacations in Pacific City and rekindled during his twenties while living in Manhattan Beach, California. In 2021, Todd and Raquel fulfilled their dream of relocating from Keizer to Lincoln City, further cementing their connection to this coastal paradise."
