Patrick O'Brien, Paint Recycling Coordinator

Patrick hails from the granite state, or New Hampshire to you and me. He's not really sure what brought him to New Orleans, but he's glad it happened, as he enjoys living and working here since. Fun fact: He knows a lot of great people but not too many famous ones.

Gene Allen, Acquistions Manager
Gene was born and raised in New Orleans, and then went out to Northern California for 12 years. Back in New Orleans, he's been a contractor and worked in real estate. He has an odd taste in music, loves Frank Sinatra and big band music as well as new hard rock, like Disturbed and Rev Theory, but not much in between.

Oliver John Burke, Lumberyard
Oliver moved to New Orleans in 2006 as a VISTA to help with recovery efforts after serving with AmeriCorps for 2 years in Cleveland, OH. He once worked on a renovation project next door to a psychic nun from Austria who turned out to be a world famous marble sculptor and completely insane. He's spent 14 hours combing the wetlands of Barbados searching for bamboo in order to construct a prop for a photoshoot that was never use and also opened Congo Stage at Jazz Fest 2008.

Shack Calderon, Decon

Shack moved to NOLA in 1992, he likes watching football, (we'll assume he's a Saints fan, because he SHOULD be) is a hard worker and is named after a very famous basketball player.

Phyllis Jordan,  Executive Director
The founder and former president of PJ's Coffee, Phyllis has lived in New Orleans for 33 years. She hates waste and landfills, and has a nearly religious faith in the power of composting. Many people know her by her laugh.

Ethan Landry, Decon

Velma McGlothlin, Warehouse and Paint
Actually a Texan, Velma has lived in New Orleans for 12 years. Her pre-Green Project career was in furniture manufacturing and she enjoys sewing, knitting and gardening.

Jamie Midgley, Store Manager
Anyone wishing to make themselves immortal by painting a picture of wretchedness would be wasting their time knocking on Jamie's door. He hails from the other side of the pond - a country which signed the Kyoto Agreement, has free universal health care, a minimum wage of $11 per hour and allows gay people to marry. Jamie spends most of his time at the Green Project crushing cans, tending to his pitiful competition onions and reminding his colleagues that football is a game played using a ROUND ball and ones FEET.

Elizabeth Ramoni, Volunteer/Outreach Coordinator & Development Officer

Elizabeth is a native New Orleanian with degrees in philosophy and law. She sometimes fibs about having a nut allergy because people think it is weird that she just doesn’t like them. Her favorite thing to do is “fest”. Her 2 life goals are to sail around the world and to hug a bear. (We've repeatedly advised her against this. Trust us.)

Chuck Wallace, Acquisitions Truck Driver

Jobie Williams, Lumberyard
NOLA born and bred and he still hates oysters. He has a strange fascination with Westerns and Korean movies (South, that is) He claims his two children are cuter than anybody's.
