Faculty Biography
I am interested in issues of "equitable development" at the local and regional level, and the relationship of transportation and land use. I pursue this in the courses I teach on community development, and transportation and the research I undertake, currently an evaluation of the state’s homeless student transportation project and the development of multi-modal transportation concurrency. Over the past few years, in collaboration with Evans School colleagues, I have provided advice, assistance, and evaluation to the City of Seattle’s Enterprise Community program and the community development corporations working in the city’s most distressed neighborhoods. I have also developed Neighborhood Revitalization Strategies for the International, Central, Southeast, Delridge, and Pioneer Square communities that were adopted by the City Council. I draw on thirty years’ experience in the public and non-profit sectors as a big-city mayoral aide, foundation executive director, county planner, educator, applied researcher and small businessperson.
