His dedication to genuine and inclusive community engagement is evident through his collaboration with community-based organizations, resulting in dynamic workshops, charrettes, open-streets events, and tactical urbanism projects that have involved thousands of residents. Prior to joining Alta, Jeffrey served as a regional advisor for Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. There, he managed a statewide grant program and fostered public-private coalitions to advance trails, parks, and open space improvements throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. Based in Oakland, California, Jeffrey enjoys exploring the Bay Area’s exceptional trail system with his family.
“Growing up in Austin, Texas, my bike first gave me the freedom to move, exercise, and explore my neighborhood with friends. Biking was ideal until I turned sixteen and swapped my bike for a driver’s license. However, after moving to Philadelphia post-college, I sold my car and bought a bike again due to the costs and hassles of car ownership. With guidance from experienced cyclists, I relearned how to bike safely in a busy urban environment. Although it came with its challenges, I found biking to be more enjoyable and convenient than driving. Now in Oakland, my daily commute is more varied. I primarily take the bus, but also enjoy commuting by e-bike when dropping off my child at school. I’m grateful every day for the opportunity to help communities build infrastructure that supports sustainable transportation and fosters connections between people and the outdoors.”
