Jeff coordinates the Great Communities Collaborative and oversees TransForm's overall operations. In 1998, Jeff joined TransForm to start a project focusing on the transportation needs of low-income and people-of-color communities. Jeff has since authored several TransForm reports, including the Access Now! guide which helps people navigate and influence transportation decisions.

Before joining TransForm in 1998, Jeff worked for Communities for a Better Environment and Contra Costa County Health Services as a policy analyst, advocate, and air quality consultant on environmental justice issues. During 1993-95, Jeff worked for the Davis Energy Group as a consultant on solar energy and energy efficiency. He also spent a year developing solar energy programs in a Tibetan refugee community in India.

Jeff holds a Master's degree from the Energy and Resources Group at University of California at Berkeley and a Bachelor's degree in physics from Harvard University.
Jeff and his partner Kim Seashore also enjoy raising two young children and taking them all over the region on public transit.
