Pike's empire has grown into what is being called the "Tides Family of Organizations," run by the Tides Network, a sort of tax-exempt holding company that rules many non-profit subsidiaries.
Wade Rathke, controversial ACORN co-founder, was a Tides director from the start and chaired Tides, Inc. until 2010, when he was forced to resign in a money scandal..
Pike married Elizabeth "Liza" Cohen in 1982, a Berkeley grad who helped create Resource Media for environmental group outreach.
They have two children, Rachel Catherine (1984), a Gates Scholar at Cambridge in chemistry (she spent her junior year in Tanzania), and Maxwell MacGavin (1987), who graduated from Marin Academy prep school in 2005 and volunteered with ACORN Relief’s Hurricane Katrina project in Houston, Texas.
Pike and his wife live in an ocean-view home in Mill Valley, an upscale suburb north of San Francisco, just across the Golden Gate. They also own a million-dollar chalet near Donner Summit in Truckee, California.
