Born in Boston, The Commons is a grassroots publishing company, event organizer, and community leader. Through hosting events, uplifting local communities, and providing opportunities for athletes and artists we are working to spread authentic parkour culture and put American parkour on the map.
Being a community project means that anybody and everybody can contribute to the cause, but here are some of the people that keep the wheels turning:
Everybody loves David. David Ehrlich is the founder, heart, and soul of The Commons. He preaches radical inclusivity, and has a special gift for bringing people together. As our primary community and event coordinator, David’s job is to create community events, do outreach, and make sure that The Commons provides safe and fun spaces for all.
Joining The Commons soon after it’s inception; Alec is the guy who makes things happen. He’s the creative director by day, web developer by night, park builder by the next day, and event coordinator after that… Alec seems to be everywhere all at once.
We are constantly honored that Noah chooses to work with us and believes in our vision. He is a filmmaker, visionary, and critic. He holds The Commons to a high standard, and always has something insightful to say.
Connor is far and away the most talented mover out of any of us, and is also a genius photographer, videographer, and graphic designer. Connor has a hand in almost every piece of content that The Commons puts out in one way or another.
Before The Commons, before Instagram, and maybe before you were born, Dylan Polin was putting Boston on the map in the parkour scene. Dylan is a pillar of the North American parkour community, a lifelong friend, a valued advisor, and eager contributor to The Commons.
Yaron is an artist, designer, and dreamer. He is a designer and brand consultant with The Commons, and is always bringing us fresh ideas, professional polish, and warm friendship.
Chances are, you already know Naomi; and she already considers you a close friend. Naomi is a social marvel, and can single handedly put us in touch with almost anybody in the parkour community. Naomi is also responsible for lots of our promotional material, especially the skits! Expect to see lots more filming and editing from Naomi in the coming months.
