I am interested in all aspects of local government, especially performance measurements, finances and organizational theory/applications. Although I work for a City of 106,000 plus, my interests lie in issues affecting cities under 50,000 in population. I hope to return to a smaller community in the future as an Assistant City Manager. I enjoy stimulating conversations concerning policy issues, current events and quality of life matters. I have worked in various fields in the private sector before returning to college in my mid-twenties. I have benefited greatly from past coaching from managers such as Steve Stanton, Tom Brobeil, Lee Feldman and others.
