Most cities say they want to be fiscally sustainable, environmentally resilient, and socially inclusive. Yet, daily decisions and investments rarely align with these outcomes. We're left with fragile local economies, escalating service costs and infrastructure liabilities, and generic places that citizens and businesses struggle to connect with and invest in.

I'm the founder and CEO of Verdunity, a community consulting firm that brings people and perspectives together to cultivate vibrant communities. We specialize in resource-conscious planning and engineering, community engagement, and coaching services that help progressive city leaders and change agents make meaningful progress right now with the resource you have. I host the Go Cultivate! podcast where we share and discuss ideas and lessons learned with people who are working hard to make their communities more financially resilient, healthy, and people-friendly.

If you work in or for a community or local government and are passionate about moving beyond status quo, I'd love to connect and share what we've learned from our work with communities around the country!
