So who is this anyways?

I am a planner and an economic development specialist.  I have worked for over 20 years in urban planning, economic development and community revitalization across the United States.   I am one of less than five known consultants in the United States to hold professional certifications in both planning and economic development.

My expertise includes fiscal impact analysis, economic diversification strategies, market analysis and economic structure analysis, comprehensive planning and public participation. I have also  invented new processes to elicit useful and constructive feedback for a variety of settings using my previous experience as a journalist and an English teacher.  I was also sole proprietor of a cultural resources management consulting fim in northern Wisconsin.
