Gary Christ Jr. (J.R.)

I have over 10 years of experience with sustainable community initiatives spanning different capacities, including planning, transportation engineering and building. Progressive sustainability measures deeply resonates with both my professional and personal visions: to provide a healthy social and physical environment for all, support economic development that encourages innovation, while protecting the environment. I have contributed to many sustainable micro-environments throughout the country, from which I have learned the critical role of adopting a multidisciplinary approach in addressing complex problems. Some of these contributions include nurturing civic engagement in the decision-making process, aligning various stakeholders towards a common goal, building awareness around natural space preservation and green building practices, and building sustainable housing and public spaces.
