My name is Erin Breen and I have lived in Greenfield for 12 years with my husband, 11 year old daughter who is in 6th grade in our neighborhood public school, Greenfield School.
For 4 years I’ve served in various roles with the Greenfield PTO, including Treasurer and Vice President. I've also worked tirelessly with other members of the PTO, parents, community volunteers, and even their kids to bring together important events like our annual Fall Fest, the Snow Flake Shop, and Bingo Night, which we've hosted at the Spartan Center in Hazelwood for two consecutive years now.
In addition to my passion to give back to our great community, I work in Duquesne University's study abroad department, and freelance with Farmers' Daughter Flower Shop in Pittsburgh's North Side.
Ed and his wife, Mary K, have lived in Greenfield since 1975. He has been an active member of the Public Space Committee since its inception. Prior to that, Ed single-handedly maintained the Irvine Street flower garden for 20 years.
The Public Space Committee is responsible for maintaining two flower gardens, organizing litter pickups, and handling graffiti remediation. In addition to his work with the committee, Ed is a member of the Greenfield Garbage Grabbers and also helps care for the flowers and grounds at St. Rosalia Church.
Christa Jones is a proud third-generation Greenfielder and a Taylor Allderdice graduate who brings both heart and experience to her role on the GCA Board. She holds a bachelor’s degree with a double major in Sociology (Criminal Justice) and Psychology from Duquesne University, along with a Master of Science in Media Arts and Technology and a Master of Arts in Psychology. She is currently a Director of Marketing and Events at Carnegie Mellon University.
Since joining the GCA Board in 2020, Christa has been a creative and committed leader, now serving as Vice President. She’s helped launch several key initiatives, including the Zeffy fundraising platform—which has raised over $15,000—created GCA’s Instagram and Slack channels to boost community engagement, and played a key role in bringing Greenfield Family Pride Night and the Holiday Parade to life.
In addition to overseeing GCA’s communications—like the website, social media, and newsletter—Christa has built strong connections with the Greenfield School PTO and local businesses. Her work reflects a deep love for the neighborhood and a strong commitment to keeping Greenfield’s traditions alive. Re-electing Christa means continuing that momentum and building an even more connected, vibrant community.
Matt and his wife, Jaime, bought their first house in Greenfield in 2012 and are both active helpers in the neighborhood (with strong Mr. Roger’s values!) He can be found at Greenfield Elementary to either drop-off/pick-up their daughters from school or an activity, or at the Spartan Center to drop-off/pick-up our youngest for dance class, or at the Schenley Oval coaching/playing soccer with our oldest, or at Zanos playing pool (if there’s time!) At work, Matt is a Planning Manager with the City of Pittsburgh in the Department of City Planning, advancing climate action, sustainability and resilience strategies.
Life long resident of Greenfield
Attended St Rosalia, Central Catholic, and Pitt
I have coached baseball and football
Served in the Army
I am active member of St Rosalia where I serve as an usher.
I'm a lifelong Greenfield resident and have been involved in the community throughout my life. I feel Greenfield is one of the City's best neighborhoods and that's why I've chosen to stay and raise my family here. I live here with my wife, our son and daughter and our 2 dogs.
Our family enjoys biking, hockey, figure skating and hiking in and around Western PA. After many years at Xerox Corp I changed careers. I've been a local Realtor for 13 years which gives me some unique insights into the City, its neighborhoods and its cultural trends. As a family we try to volunteer and stay involved in activities and work that will improve the quality of life in Pittsburgh and continue to make it a place that people want to call home.
For the past 12 years, Greenfield has been more than just where I live—it’s been home. It’s where my family has grown and where friendships have flourished.
Many of you might know my wife, Jennie, who serves as co-treasurer for the Greenfield PTO, working to support our local school. Our two children, Evie (10) and Ethan (6), are thriving at Greenfield Elementary, and like many parents here, I’m passionate about ensuring our kids have the best possible environment to learn and grow.
Professionally, I've spent the last 13 years at Dick's Sporting Goods. My roles there have spanned both finance and merchandising, giving me a strong foundation in responsible financial management and strategic planning—skills I’m eager to apply in service to Greenfield. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame and later completed my MBA at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business.
Beyond work, you’ll find me out in the community—cycling local trails, staying active at the JCC, catching up with neighbors at Mondays Brewing, and attending services as a parishioner at St. Rosalia’s Catholic Church. I think Greenfield is so great that I’m always encouraging friends to move here, sharing what makes our neighborhood special—from its welcoming people to its strong sense of community.
Greenfield is special and I’m excited for the opportunity to give back, listen, and help shape the future of our neighborhood.
