Trey Moore, Executive Director

Trey Moore’s leadership of Explore Bike Share builds on more than two decades of non-profit experience with a focus on community health. A native Memphian and University of Memphis alumnus, Trey sought out this opportunity to help create more equity, sustainability, and livability in his hometown. 

In previous roles, Trey has led voluntary health organizations and youth-serving agencies. Most recently as the Executive Director of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Georgia Chapter, Trey was accountable for a $5 million budget, managing a high-achieving team of professionals and 40 volunteer board members.

Over the course of his non-profit career, Trey has excelled in managing strategic relationships and developing fundraising strategies through entrepreneurial approaches. He will work collaboratively with the Explore Bike Share board and key community leaders to establish priorities, set high expectations, execute strategy, and be accountable for the system’s results.

Rajah Brown brings more than 15 years of experience in community-based recreation management to his role as Operations Director. With a background in accounting as well as sport administration, Rajah is especially well suited to guide the Operations team in evaluating and elevating this new system.

Rajah’s professional and leadership development includes four years of intense training through Up2Us in creating positive team culture, designing practices with high levels of physical activity, and helping youth transfer sport skills into other areas of their lives. He is also a graduate of Urban Arrow, a comprehensive management and organizational capacity-building program for urban leaders.

Prior to joining Explore Bike Share, Rajah served as Program Director of the Mayor's Safe Summer Initiative, where he was directly responsible for developing corporate partnerships, galvanizing targeted communities, and creating holistic programming for over 4,000 participants of this highly successful program each year. Rajah is an avid downtown biker, with a heart of service and a passion for the advancement of this city.

Denise Parnell supports Explore Bike Share’s mission by developing programming for the system’s ridership and creating strategies for community engagement. Working most recently as an online community ambassador, her experience within the fields of academia, fitness, and social media has had a unified focus on building engagement and local investment.

As Community Engagement Manager, Denise will build on her foundation of marketing and communications, project management, event coordination, and civic outreach. Her background in developing social media strategies, networking opportunities, and constructive partnerships will help Explore Bike Share reach its goal of serving every facet of Memphis’ population.     

A graduate of the University of Memphis, Denise is passionate about serving the city as well as traveling to gather inspiration for our growth. She is excited to be part of this brand-new system and enthusiastic about creating authentic relationships with the residents, stakeholders, and organizations both within the Explore Bike Share service area and beyond.

Jon Pegg began buying, repairing, and overhauling bicycles shortly after college and quickly realized that cycling was his calling and passion. Before joining Explore Bike Share as Fleet Manager, he worked at the Shop Manager for our community partner Revolutions Bike Co-Op, gaining knowledge and experience in bicycle assessment, building, and repair as well as installing and maintaining bike stations.

Because of Revolutions’ educational mission, Jon’s role there built his aptitude to successfully and simultaneously manage a mechanic team, direct volunteers, teach community members, perform shop duties, and interact with retail customers – all vital elements of coordinating Explore Bike Share’s fleet.

As a native of Los Angeles who has spent more than two decades in Memphis, Jon has seen how riding a bicycle creates a community that grows a love for people, neighborhoods, and the outdoor spaces that shape our city, and he is excited to bring greater opportunities to see more in Memphis.

She brings a background in community organizing, environmental policy, and communications to her role as our riders’ problem-solver and spokesperson.
