Born and raised in West Philly, Judith grew up on SEPTA’s Rt. 34 trolley line and didn’t drive till she turned twenty-one. She came to PhillyCarShare in early 2007, after college in Philly, grad school in Chicago, and then two years on the left coast (hey PDX!). A classic middle-child, Judith works as a mediator, a rule-follower, and an outspoken advocate for members and the Member Services team.

Judith’s a ruthless editor of text and copy – which is lucky because she loves crafting training materials, e-mails to members, and long-winded documents that invariably need to be edited for length. She also loves paper in all forms, paper crafts, funky folders, and of course a well-written list. Judith loves dogs (even the funny-looking ones!), long walks in the woods by her house (with aforementioned dogs), and beating her partner Kim at board games.

Heather joined the PhillyCarShare Marketing Department in 2007 and currently manages corporate accounts, partnerships, neighborhood outreach, special initiatives, and community relations for the organization. On any given day, you may find her working with developers and civic associations to secure on-street parking or additional pods for the organization, crafting messages and newsletters to our wonderful members, dreaming up the next promotion, working with local companies and organizations to broaden our reach, speaking to college students across the city about the benefits of going car-free, setting up new corporate accounts, or creating nifty maps of where our members reside. Heather is a Minnesota native who found her way to the east coast after receiving her Bachelors Degree in Marketing and Spanish from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She is a member of YPN (Young Professionals Network) and PYNL (Philadelphia Young Nonprofit Leaders).

When not spreading car sharing to the masses, she enjoys vegan cooking and baking, relaxing at the shore during the summers and on the slopes in the winter, tackling the daily KenKen, and crafting. She lives in Graduate Hospital with her husband Chuck and loves riding her scooter to work every day.

Rob joined PhillyCarShare in early 2008 as a Member Services associate. Enthused by the company’s mission and with two decades’ IT experience, Rob set out to create an internal IT department that matched PCS’ own vision of innovation and sustainability; both environmental and economic. Through a variety of proprietary and Open Source solutions, Rob works to take a traditional cash and energy drain and help it stay greener and leaner.

When not working with computers at PCS, Rob can be found tinkering with them at home, or for friends, or for random people having trouble in cafés… Rob’s also an electric violinist with over 30 years playing experience in many styles and musical genres, and has performed with various Philly bands and musical productions. He’s been a professional actor, albeit briefly, and a resident at Hedgerow, where he got to apply his technical, musical, acting and administrative skills (and frequently all at once!).
