As a manager I approach my job as a generalist; I take the time to listen carefully, identify strategies to achieve short and long term community visions and goals, inventory necessary resources and most importantly foster productive partnerships with staff, other government agencies and private partners. I am known for building productive and collaborative relationships with co-workers, administrators, elected officials and regional agency staff. In the past I chair a governance committee of a new southeastern Michigan regional partnership that included 7 local units of government, 2 counties, an airport authority, and a statewide business organization. I work closely with local communities, county governments, and the State of Michigan governments in the areas of economic development attraction and retention; infrastructure planning, project management and entitlement, roads, storm water, public water and sanitary sewer administration, Community Development Block Grant (HUD) funded activities, and the Michigan Land Bank. Whatever the scope and need of a project or plan my first priorities are to reach consensus on an acceptable course of action with all partners and staff, produce a strategic plan with input from partners and decision-makers, provide educational materials and public comment opportunities for the intended beneficiaries, and deliver timely and complete recommendations and considerations. Identifying appropriate goals and objectives and then effectively implementing both are essential to delivering responsible levels of government services and managing the expectations of staff and citizens.

Listed skills include Community Development, Economic Development, Government, Strategic Planning, and 45 others.
