James Gonzalski

Board Member

James has been a resident of East Point’s Center Park neighborhood since 2017. Born in Massachusetts and raised in Nashville, James has been a resident of the Atlanta area since he arrived in 2002 to study at Georgia Tech, where he earned a degree in Computer Engineering. He served as the Center Park Neighborhood Alliance’s Secretary from 2021 to 2023.

James’s career today is in the field of IT Consulting, but history, specifically trying to better understand places through their unique and complete histories, has long been his interest and passion. James has been able to indulge this passion through secondary employment with two active tourism companies: Bicycle Tours of Atlanta and Wilderness Voyageurs. Guiding for these companies requires him to research the histories of places and share interesting and engaging stories. James founded the local bicycle club "Tri-Cities Neighborhoods Bike Rides," which brings neighbors through our local communities and aims to build appreciation of their uniqueness and the stories they hold.

The area of history that most interests James is that of the built environment: transportation infrastructure (East Point’s namesake is, after all, tied to the railroads), historical architecture, and the growth and evolution of cities.
