Land Use Chair: Zack Smith
My wife and I have spent the past seven years in Creston-Kenilworth and love the neighborhood’s extensive bikeability and walkability. As such, I’m presently co-chairing the Land Use, Livability, and Transportation Committee with the goal of enhancing the overall feel of the neighborhood. We'd love to hear your ideas!
I grew up in the area and have a passion for Portland’s local start-up scene. Currently , I’m an Account Exec at Jama Software, helping teams of innovative people collaborate on complex technology projects.

Member at Large: Jason de Parrie-Turner
After visiting Portland as a child, I decided to move here in 2004. The CKNA neighborhood has been my home since 2008, which is where I met my wife Jeanne. We are both passionate about community and making ours a more vibrant place.
I have an MA in media studies from Sacramento State and plan on attending Portland State University to complete a Phd in Systems Science with a focus on Sociology.
I am co-owner of Heliorana Filmworks. I first got involved with film and video when I was 6 years old. I made several national and international commercials, which paid my way through college.
Many, many moons ago, I was the drummer for the 90s band Pavement and more recently have taken up Taiko drumming. I like incorporating rhythm in my editing.

I have been interested in sustainable living and community resilience for most of my life. Upon my retirement, my wife and I were able to relocate from Minnesota and join an eco-village here in Creston-Kenilworth. I spend much of my time tending to both my individual garden and our community gardens. As a renter and a cyclist, I am a proponent of affordable housing, and walk-able, bike-friendly neighborhoods.
I am an active member of Portland's Neighborhood Emergency Team, and am currently Co-Leader of the Creston-Kenilworth Team. I am also the Chairperson of CKNA's Community Preparedness and Resilience Committee.
