Portfolio: Development Master Planning

In the early portions of my career, I was involved with numerous, large-scale master planning and development efforts. These experiences enabled me to develop relationships with local planners, politicians and other design professionals, while also teaching me the subtleties of image-making, branding and conducting effective public meetings. In the last several years, my role in my current organization has enabled me to re-kindle several of these relationships and “get back to my roots” of developing clients and master planning and developing communities. I am proud to say that, over the course of my 20 year career, my team has a 100% success rate on receiving the requested zoning and entitlements for my projects. The links below direct you to a brief sampling of some of my more recent major projects.
