Meet Our Core Team

James Odom

Hello! I'm James Odom and I am part of the TFYP Executive Committee for 2023. I moved to Austin from Raleigh North Carolina in late 2018 and got involved with treefolks shortly after.

Cage Johnson

I love trees!

Alexis Dorn

I am a QA engineer by day, social cause champion by night. I love to bring my passion for causes away from the computer and outside in nature and my Austin community. I've worked, volunteered and sat on the board of other animal welfare and community development nonprofits.

Kyle Hoskins

I work on a computer all day, so I love a chance to get outside and hike, kayak, or play sports (mostly tennis these days). I volunteer with TreeFolks because it gives me a chance to support planting trees all across Austin!.

Andrew Overby

I have always been interested in environmental & nature-related topics, and spend a lot of time outside when I can. In the past, I have done some gardening, and look forward to helping plant lots of trees!

Amanda Sullivan

I am passionate about connecting children to nature. It makes me smile when they pick up a big-as-your-face sycamore leaf or try to hug a live oak as a class. Volunteering to create positive environmental impacts brings me joy and purpose. I think the benefits trees give a beautiful example of the interconnectedness between people & the land. I am thrilled to serve others in this capacity.

Zach Rubin

I work with computers and numbers a lot, but I'm passionate about nature and trees. I really like working with my hands and looking at a project when it's finished (like planting a baby tree)!
