(202) 630-1455

Jeff Rueckgauer came to Washington in the fall of 1991 for a 1-year software development project with Fannie Mae. More projects followed. He decided to stay after several more years and now can’t imagine living anywhere but here in Dupont Circle. He became involved with the ANC as a resident in the mid-1990s. In 2007, he became president of his building’s tenant association, serving as liaison to the ANC. Jeff joined the predecessors of what are now the Land Use and Mobility Committees in 2016. His 3 decades of experience with the community and ANC 2B convinced him to become commissioner for his district when the seat became vacant.

A native San Franciscan, he engaged in civil and gay rights, and environmental protection causes during high school and college in the 1960s and early 1970s. In the 1980s he was a national advocate for gay parents’ rights and recognition and launched an early computer information network for gay issues organizations. Since the 1990s, he became involved in advocacy for public transportation and affordable/equitable housing. He has his own management consulting and software development firm since 1980.

The son of architect/engineers, Jeff has an innate interest in architecture and preservation. He is an avid weather and nature photographer and “a darn good cook.” He and his long-term partner, Tim, live on P Street in West Dupont.
