Using decades of facilities management I assist organizations with management of their facilities and facilities personnel.

I spend my days working on my project house, making man-glitter (sawdust), cruising beautiful Canyon Lake, never looking back only looking forward.

The Houston Downtown Management District is a governmental agency formed by Houston Central Business stakeholders to improve the quality of the downtown experience. The District has facilitated many of the public and private projects that have transformed downtown over the last decade. The District began its revitalization efforts in 1995. To accelerate the renewal of the city's urban core, the District set several important goals with quality of life as the underlying theme: building a lasting constituency for downtown; recruiting investors, retailers and tenants while retaining those already downtown; and making downtown clean, safe and attractive. The Operations Center's focus is to provide a clean and safe environment to the 350+ blocks in the Central Business and North Warehouse District(s). To accomplish this in 2011 we initiated the Downtown Public Safety Guide program that serve as ambassadors to the general public as well as additional eyes and ears for the Houston Police Department. Additionally, we manage various capital improvement projects, currently we are undergoing nearly $40 million renovation of Dallas St, Main St and soon starting the Allen Parkway projects.For more information:http://www.downtowndistrict.org/programs/operations/Areas of responsibility include:- Downtown Public Safety Guide Program - Street Clean Team- Homeless Outreach programs- Facilities management- Construction Management- Emergency Preparedness Planning- Greenlink transportation system
