The people building safer streets — one conversation at a time.

Hi, I’m Jeremiah.

I grew up in New York and now live in Atlanta, where I work as a transportation engineer with AtkinsRéalis, embedded with the City of Atlanta’s Vision Zero program. I studied engineering physics at Fordham, then earned dual master’s degrees in civil engineering and city & regional planning at Georgia Tech.

I think about policy often, though much of my day-to-day work sits outside of it. What I enjoy most is hearing from the community and finding ways to make what they are asking for possible in an engineering sense. Questions come up that are worth taking seriously. Why can’t we have high speed rail across all of America? While the barriers are real, they are largely ones we have chosen, and choices can be revisited. These are the conversations I want to keep having.

Running takes up most of my time outside of work, and it gives me the most back. I run the 800 meters, and I competed at the Division I level for both Fordham and Georgia Tech. I now represent Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, my mother’s country, and I still train with a professional group here in Atlanta.

I play violin and drums, and I am in a band. I cook, I spend time outdoors with friends, and I serve at my church here in Atlanta. My faith is the foundation for the rest of it. I have followed Jesus for a long time now, and I do not believe we can build much of anything, or head anywhere good, without being grounded spiritually first.

A City in Motion grew out of all of it: a curiosity about how cities work, a belief that the way we build them matters, and a real interest in hearing from the people doing the work.
