Civic thinker, advisor and strategist helping communities create shared solutions that advance walkability, lovability, well-being, and quality of life for all.Over the last 12+ years I have worked with 250 cities and towns across America leading multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary teams in creating solution focused, action oriented blueprints for more walkable, bikeable, equitable, and livable streets – a shared future.
