Philip Falcone

Director at Large

I am: 26

I’m a young professional at: Office of Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson

I get involved in my community through the following organization(s): Old Riverside Foundation, Keep Riverside Clean & Beautiful, Love Riverside, Riverside Museum Associate, Mission Inn Foundation, among others. 

I am a happy resident in the City of: Riverside

My career goals are to: Serve my fellow Riversiders in various levels of local and federal government

My professional motto is: Always say yes!

My advice to other Young Pros is: Now is the time to get as involved as possible and begin building the critical relationships that will have a valuable return on investment professionally and personally.

When I’m not working or volunteering, you can find me: Traveling to Washington, D.C. or New Orleans—my favorite city and my hometown.

I joined PICK because: The gap in young people at decision-making tables in Riverside was glaring and PICK is on the frontlines to change that.

PICK is awesome because: It connects people across generations, across town, and across career paths to advocate for mutual causes.

I maximize my PICK membership by: Meeting other young professionals who are in fields different than my own. Without this membership it is less likely that I would have met these fellow professionals.

The issues in Riverside that I care about most are: Infrastructure, Historic Preservation, Arts & Culture
