Don’t let my history degree fool you. While I can recite the US Presidents in order to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy, the majority of my career has focused in the technical world of delivering major public facility and infrastructure projects. I am a proven leader who has spent the past 18-years building executive, program and project management experience and working with individuals and teams to help them realize their full potential. At the core of my experience lies a deep history and proven track record of building and maintaining relationships with communities, businesses, organizations and elected officials. I have a successful track record of negotiating and administering complex agreements and partnerships. I am energized about good customer service, green infrastructure, trains, sustainable design, livable communities and taking photographs of everyday objects. I thrive on implementing innovative solutions, finding efficiencies in process and procedures and working with integrated teams. My professional values boil down to the following: • A little communication goes a long way. • Do your homework and show up. And if you’re going to show up, be an active participant. • You’re always better off with the truth even if it stinks. • Commit to what you can and do what you say. • There is ALWAYS a path forward. Specialties include: strategic planning and program management, communications (crisis, targeted, UX design), budget development and administration, policy development, brand and reputation management, continual process improvement, change management, and community and government relations.
