A LIFE OF SERVICE

Jeff is a Dallas native and long-time resident of District 11. As the Chief Operating Officer of the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce (NDCC), Jeff is committed to its mission: to make Dallas a better place to live, work, raise a family and build a business. As COO of the Chamber, Jeff oversees its legal and business operations while also managing government and community relations, advocacy, and public policy across municipal, county, state and federal levels.

​

Formerly a litigation partner with Jackson Walker LLP, Jeff joined NDCC in 2018 and has been actively involved in the city’s quality-of-life issues. From 2017 through 2024, he served as the District 11 Representative to the Park and Recreation Board. As a former President of the Friends of the Northaven Trail, he was instrumental in the completion of the full trail and the Northaven Trail Bridge. He currently serves on numerous other boards, including Temple Emanu-El, UTSW Simmons Cancer Center Community Advisory, Dallas Education Foundation, Friends of Dallas Public Library, and the Jewish Community Center of Dallas. He is also a member of the Dallas Assembly, a non-profit composed of Dallas leaders who foster discussions on topics of key local issues. 


Jeff, a graduate of Emory University and the University of Texas School of Law, lives in the Hillcrest Forest neighborhood with his wife, Miriam, their 12-year-old daughter, Sophie, a Dallas ISD student, and two rescue dogs. In October of 2019, the family sheltered in their bathroom as a tornado swept through District 11, significantly damaging their home and many others. But Jeff and his family never considered a move, even temporarily, away from the district and the neighborhood they love so much. They lived in Preston Hollow Village, with many other tornado refugees, for a year while they rebuilt their home. Jeff was also instrumental in selling the NDCC’s office building, which had been damaged as well, and finding a new space in which the 70-year-old non-profit could continue its important work.

​

Through his work rebuilding both his home and workplace, and as the lead community advocate in the realization of the Northaven Trail Bridge, Jeff successfully collaborated with multiple city departments and intergovernmental agencies. These experiences left Jeff with a deep understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of city government, and the need for responsible, effective leadership.
