Bio
Laura Saeger is a founding member of the Timber Framers Guild and was a practicing timber framer from 1982–2014. She is also a founding board member and current Treasurer and conference planner for Friends of Ohio Barns, a statewide non profit founded in 2000. She has been an organizer and hands on presenter at dozens of timber frame, historic barn and preservation conference workshops including Masters of the Building Arts in Washington, DC and Charleston, SC. The last 27 years were spent rotating between raising a son, shop work, frame raisings, office management for the family business, gardening and countless enjoyable hours preparing for and helping plan PTN conferences, field schools and the annual benefit auction. PTN has been an inspiring and fulfilling experience and since 1997 has played a prominent role in shaping her future by building a broad spectrum of admirable friends and associates. She is looking forward to the continuing success of PTN and is extremely grateful for all the excellent service by others that has enabled the organization to become what it is today.
