Prior to joining The Trust for Public Land, he led an anti-poverty initiative for the City of Philadelphia, where he led a collective impact effort of public, nonprofit, and civic partners that secured roughly $50 million to address concentrated, generational poverty in West Philadelphia. He believes strongly in the power of parks to accomplish tremendous things, and has particular passion for the community cohesion they support in his chosen home of Philadelphia.
