my work focuses on housing investment, people investment, and the systems that shape how communities grow into, well, communities.

i’m especially curious about who those systems work for - and what it might take to change them.

in my day to day, i spend a lot of time in the mechanics of the most foundational aspect of people’s lives (housing) - whether it’s how projects get funded, who they serve, how decisions get made, how partnerships are built, and how policies translate (or don’t) into something meaningful. i’m usually working nonstop to try to explain how small decisions can have big impacts, even if it’s just for one person.

currently president of the American Planning Association - Wisconsin Chapter.
