general manager

Alameda Transportation Management Association (ATMA) · 2025 to present

I am someone with a penchant for exploration and adventure, professionally and personally. I believe and practice that the physical and digital environments can better serve our planet and its people with a dash of data science, and a heavy helping of human intuition.

I lead a transportation management association serving Alameda's project areas. I report to a Board of Directors and own program delivery, finances, and partnerships.

I administer the AC Transit EasyPass and Clipper BayPass programs for Alameda, connecting thousands of residents and workers to regional transportation, funded through assessments. EasyPass is an established program through AC Transit; BayPass is a pilot through MTC.

I also oversee the Oakland-Alameda Water Shuttle pilot, coordinating with the City, MTC, WETA, and the Port of Oakland on service design, funding, and performance.

the network

Everything I work on is a network. Sources, hubs, and destinations, with things moving along the lines. Press generate to draw a new one.

A schematic of how things move through a system: ports and farms and factories feeding hubs, hubs feeding cities and last-mile depots. Each generate draws a new one.
