A human in New York.

Illustrated portrait of Jeff Reid at the Little Red Lighthouse on the Hudson

I’m Jeff Reid. I live in NYC in awe of the natural and built world around me and capture what I can with my cameras.

Obsessed with the weather and the impact it has on us, I built ForecastMaven to provide personalized, contextual forecasts to help people navigate our ever-friskier climate.

I look to tell stories with data.

I have spent my career building great products and teams in education and workforce development and plan to keep focusing on what I think are the most important challenges of our time: raising healthy and well-informed kids, expanding economic opportunity and confronting the impacts of climate change.
