Max serves as the new Program Manager for the EMPA program. He will be graduating with his MPA degree from PSU in Winter 2022, and has been grateful to have been working with CPS on various projects as a graduate student assistant since December of 2020. He previously worked at Clackamas Community College for 6 years as administrative support staff, project coordinator, and most recently as their Interim Grants Administrator. He graduated from Kalamazoo College with a BA in English with a Writing Emphasis in 2012 and came back to Portland where he grew up afterwards. Most of the time, you'll find him either playing soccer, watching soccer (especially women's - go Thorns!), and attempting to keep his dogs entertained.
