Neil began his Red Cross career as a Disaster Specialist for the Chisholm Trail Chapter in Fort Worth in 2007, served in several disaster positions at the Dallas Area Chapter and North Texas Region, and then spent three years as a Division Disaster Director covering Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. In 2016, he relocated to New England to serve as the Regional Disaster Officer for the Connecticut & Rhode Island Region. Neil is also a Director on the American Red Cross National Response Management Team, and has served in leadership positions for numerous large disaster relief operations including Hurricane Ida, Hurricane Laura, the Northern California Wildfires, Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Harvey.
Neil’s emphasis on community service and engagement, leadership coaching, creative problem solving, and diversity, equity and inclusion have been the hallmarks of his career thus far. Neil lives in Connecticut and is currently restoring a nearly 200-year-old house (that could be haunted!) with his husband, Joe, and their Border Collie, Bear.
