I am passionate about & fascinated by urban vibrance and diversity - the connection between the urban public realm, the mixed-use that surrounds it and the vibrant diversity of human life & interaction that can synergistically develop. I have worked on facets of this dynamic across a wide variety of project types in architecture (17 yrs.), in community building & property management (3 yrs.) and in construction (8 yrs.).
My passion for urban vibrance and diversity began to grow during a return to school to do an M.Arch, mid-career in architectural practice. I began perceiving architectural and urban design as a continuum and infusing both with socio-economic & social justice perspectives. After graduating, I moved to Chicago where I worked to explore synergies between public space, mixed-use and community building. My work there includes property management in very unique circumstances and formation of a socio-business community building initiative named Envisionarium. My wife and I now live in wonderfully vibrant and diverse NYC, where I am looking to contribute to developing more livable environments.
