Hailing from Florida, Corey can break out in salsa, bachata, and merengue dancing in a moment’s notice. Corey is learning to cook and so far has succeeded with staff lunches – good thing for us! Also, he loves office supplies!

Anna joined ATC as one of our new Outreach Counselors in November of 2011. As a San Francisco native, she is excited to do youth outreach in her home city. When she’s not shopping or reading Gardening For Dummies, Anna loves to travel. From what we’ve heard, she’s a skilled Rugby player, so don’t touch her Thai food or candy unless you’re ready for some trouble. Above all, she is committed to community development, and completely stoked to be part of our team!

Email Shawn
Shawn joined ATC’s staff in 2004 as an Outreach Counselor, and is now our Program Manager, and is otherwise known as the Staff Mom. Shawn may have a fondness for European pharmacies, but if you ask her about “football”, she’s all about her Niners, being a life-long San Franciscan. She’s also got the best decorated desk in the office, although the competition is not exactly fierce.

Email Rob
As co-founder and Executive Director, Rob has been with ATC from its inception. He’s got the gray hairs to prove it. Don’t let his “right-on”s and “for sure”s fool you – this guy is straight out of Brooklyn, though after 18 years on the West Coast, it is getting harder and harder for him to claim New York. You can find him at Starbucks, the Farmers Market, hanging with his niece and nephew, or hiking in the Headlands when not at our office.

Joey joins ATC as one of the new Outreach Counselors. He is a southern gentleman from North Carolina who loves southern cooking, music, and dressing up like Elvis for Halloween. His sense of style, humor, and facial hair are impeccable. Living in San Francisco has always been a dream of his and he is super excited to have an opportunity to work for an organization like ATC.

He came to San Francisco when he was 20, and now considers the Bay a second home.

By ‘positive experiences,’ he means ‘sushi,’ and by ‘creating,’ he means ‘eating’.

Email Jon
When Jon joined ATC’s staff in 2010 as our Development Coordinator, it was a homecoming, as he was born in Mountain View, CA. He spent most of his life in Boston, where he enjoyed numerous Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics championships, becoming somewhat insufferable. None of those, however, brought a tear to his eye as fast as the movies “Up”, “Finding Nemo”, or, especially, “Homeward Bound.” When he’s 65, Jon will spend most of his time tending his vegetable garden and feeding his goats.
