Morgan is an environmental leader and activist advocating for carbon-neutral cities in the Angeles region. As Director of the Sierra Club’s Angeles Chapter, Morgan helps focus the environmental organization on how dense, infill housing is necessary to fight climate change, and on how seeking to end racism is synergistic to environmental goals of clean air, water and land.
Previously, Morgan served as a Town Councilmember and Mayor of Truckee, California. In that role he helped focus the town's efforts on building locals housing and reducing climate emissions by welcoming density into the town's core. He championed projects that are reshaping the small town away from a sprawling suburban model and toward a more urban pattern that will benefit from mass transit and allow more residents to live without cars.
While in Truckee, he also co-founded the Truckee Roundhouse. This community makerspace makes tools, classes and shop space available to the public to learn and create with wood, metal, ceramics, textiles and electronics. Morgan served as chair of the board from the founding of the organization, through its grand opening two years later, and then through a period of expansion and stabilization.
Prior to joining the Sierra Club, Morgan worked for ten years as an Online Campaigner with the global advocacy group Avaaz, matching technology to advocacy needs and connecting millions of members with decision-makers worldwide.
Morgan has worked with dozens of developers in various capacities through the town of Truckee, but only recently ventured into real estate. He is a co-owner of the Truckee River Cohousing LLC, a group of 15 households who are building a 35 unit multi-family development along the Truckee River in which the owner households will eventually reside.
Morgan attended Williams College where he graduated Cum Laude with a major in Chinese language.
