COUNCILMEMBER'S WEBSITE    

Jeff Baron describes his life before he became a councilmember: “Early in my career, I worked on Wall Street. Later, I worked in software design, and then software consulting. I have industry experience managing people and projects.”


In 2005, the Harvard University graduate (bachelor’s degree, computer science) purchased a home in Carmel-by-the-Sea. He has served the community in various ways: He volunteers at the library, helping patrons with ebooks and electronic devices, and he served on the Forest and Beach Commission from 2014 to 2016. Before he joined the council, Baron had been commenting at city council and planning commission meetings for several years.


Most recently, Baron was reelected in November 2022 for another term.
