His diverse career has included serving as Chief of Staff in Congress and playing a key role in the passage of Florida’s Amendment 4, which restored voting rights to 1.4 million people.

Neil stepped into the role of Executive Director of the Alliance for the Arts in March 2025 with heartfelt enthusiasm. “When I moved to Florida nearly 20 years ago, the Alliance was one of the first places that made me feel at home,” he shares. “I experienced firsthand how the arts bring people together, spark creativity, and foster a sense of belonging. That same passion for the Alliance’s mission—transforming lives and strengthening our community through the arts—continues to inspire me today.”
