Having lived or worked in a number of seriously UN-liveable cities such as Washington DC and San Jose, Robin Rather now spends most of her free time looking for ways to enjoy and protect Austin's quality of life.

As an environmentalist, she was elected three times as Chair of Save our Springs Alliance, is a founding Vice President with the Hill Country Conservancy and serves on the Advisory Board of Environmental Defense.

As a community activist, she serves as an Executive Board Member of the Central Texas Regional Visioning Project, a board member of the United Way and the Austin Idea Network. She lives near Zilker Park with her husband, musician David Murray and their fine son Andy.

Robin also has more than 20 years experience in the high tech field as a senior executive at Mindwave Research, Reality Research, CMP Media (publishers of Information Week and Internet Week) and International Data Corporation

I could care less. She looks like a dike; Austin is full of them. There are also lots of dikes married living 'a so-called normal life style.'
