Board of Directors

Jon is a Northern Virginia native and joined the DC Front Runners in 2016.  Since joining the DC Front Runners, Jon has cultivated many friendships in the club and completed eight full marathons in the process.  For several years he was active with the Pride Run committee.  Most recently for the club, he was the membership engagement coordinator, and before that the  Walking Coordinator.

Tim relocated to DC from Boston in January 2022 when his husband Ben started a new job here. Tim works remotely as the Controller at a Boston-based private equity firm. He is a CPA in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As a newcomer, Tim joined DC Front Runners in February 2022 to pair running with the social aspect of the group. Tim originally started running in high school with the cross country team and has run recreationally since then. Since joining the group, he has enjoyed being introduced to new running routes and meeting members of the group. Tim looks forward to using his professional background in finance and accounting to serve the board in the Treasurer capacity.

Matt joined DC Front Runners in 2013, after the Navy stationed him in DC. It is an amazing group, and he has built many great friendships through it. He has a love/hate relationship with marathons and has completed races in the US, Germany, Greece, Djibouti, Afghanistan, and Diego Garcia. He's spent the last couple of years living in Europe, but he's excited to be moving back to DC and spending more time with the DC Front Runners.

Jeremy has been a member of DC Front Runners since 2011 and served in several different roles including Membership Engagement, Co-Track Coach for the DC Front Runners Track Program, and Co-Race Director.   Jeremy is excited to serve another term as Co-Race Director!   He looks forward to supporting and encouraging members with their races goals and overall experiences with the club.   Jeremy attends most weekly runs and enjoys meeting new members.   In his free time, Jeremy often travels and has run marathons in several different destinations. 

Josh moved to Maryland in 2018 from the Midwest where he grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and lived in South Bend, Indiana for a few years. He started running in 2010 and was inspired by runners in a South Bend run group to run 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons, and 25Ks. Over time, he progressed to marathons. He found that running groups were a great motivator to set running goals and to pick up tips on how to successfully complete 26.2 miles. Josh joined DC Front Runners in February 2020 for inspiration to get out and maintain his run streak. DC Front Runners has been a great motivation to Josh to sign up for races and marathons. He’s enjoyed running with the DCFR and meeting new people. Josh says, “It is a great way of getting in training miles for my upcoming marathon.” He has a goal of completing a marathon in each U.S. state. He enjoys participating in road races, and says they serve as inspiration to get in training miles. As DCFR Race Director, he would encourage members to sign up for races, set goals, and experience the excitement of participating in a road race.

Craig joined Front Runners in 2019, becoming a runner for the first time in his life.  He knew several Front Runners from the many social events he attended over the years.  Learning to run later in life, and being a novice runner, Craig found a supportive and engaging group that challenged him to begin running at his own pace.  Running his first 5K ever, the 2019 Pride Run, motivated him to run more frequently and, in 2023, he completed the Front Runners race circuit.  Having volunteered with several of the Pride events over the past two years, he is looking forward to continuing to contribute to the club as Outreach Coordinator!

Gwen joined DCFR in October 2021 to help her keep a running routine, and quickly learned that with this group, she's capable of running farther and faster than she thought possible. The community of support and friendship within DCFR is what makes the club special, and she will continue to build that community as outreach coordinator this year, working with the whole board to bring long-time members back together and welcome in new members. She wants to emphasize inclusivity and DCFR's options for all levels of running experience.
