About Mr. McNeil

Executive Director
mcneil@pacificboychoir.org

Mr. McNeil joined PBA as Executive Director in 2022, after serving on the Board of Directors. His role at PBA follows 20 years as an Environmental/Energy Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, where he directed Mexico’s Environmental and Sustainability goals.

His son, Forrest, started singing at PBA at age 4 as a Prelude chorister — and is now a 9-year chorister and middle-school student at Pacific Boychoir Academy’s Day School! Mr. McNeil’s role is driven by his love for the PBA organization and the enrichment PBA has provided his own family and his Oakland community.

The McNeil family loves camping in their trailer, fine cheeses and playing Minecraft together.

Mr. McNeil holds a Bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley and a Ph.D. from UC Santa Cruz, both in Physics.
