Transportation planning and project delivery for public agencies.

I help public agencies and consultant teams turn policy, data, stakeholder input, and project constraints into reports, programs, funding narratives, implementation tools, and decisions people can use.

Field Notes

Photography is another way I practice paying attention.

Selected images from @Ronin.Venture.Photography, my personal photography handle, including recreational drone photography. Planning and photography both ask for close observation: what is visible, what is hidden, what changed over time, and what story a place is already telling before anyone writes the report.

Open to senior transportation planning, project management, and implementation-focused roles.

I am especially interested in work that needs both planning judgment and delivery discipline: shaping the story, coordinating the team, protecting quality, and helping public agencies move from analysis to action.
