Tom Jenson (he/him)

Tom joined the board in 2018 as the Director of Planning; his architectural background and passion for city planning and design made him a perfect fit for the role. Tom then served as VP from June 2020 until May 2022. He has helped implement the use of Microsoft Teams for improved Board communication and the creation of EVNA's new website! All website related questions can be directed to him.

Tom was born and raised in Calgary, having grown up in the south end of the city before eventually moving to East Village in 2017. Tom graduated from SAIT with an Architectural Technologies diploma in 2005, and the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Arts, minoring in Art History and Architecture. He currently runs his own residential design company. When Tom isn't busy with work, school, or EVNA, you can find him cycling along the Riverwalk or whipping up a batch of gourmet waffles!
