Alan Spool

Emeriti, Founding Board Member

Alan, a PhD chemist, applies his more than 35 years' experience in the disk drive industry to solve problems in disk drive technology using analytical techniques (research, development, and manufacturing). He is the husband of Peggy Spool, Artistic Director Emerita of Vivace and a co-founder of the organization. When a group of parents joined forces in 2003 to create a children's chorus for San José and asked Peggy to be its director, Alan joined the initial board and took on the herculean task of incorporating Vivace and obtaining our 501(c)(3) non-profit status. Alan continues to be a dedicated and active supporter of Vivace, on and off the board. He most recently served as Treasurer, a role he held from time to time since the chorus was formed.
