What high school did you go to?

Elyria High School, Elyria, Ohio 
(small town about 25 miles west of Cleveland)

What neighborhood do you live in?

Upper Highlands (we chose this neighborhood because of it proximity to Atherton High School where our daughters attended.  As it turns out, its also close to the college she chose, Bellarmine University.)

Please share one thing that nobody would guess about you, something that is odd, outrageous, or uncommon.

I played the tuba in my high school and college bands.

Why are you involved with the Center For Neighborhoods? 

I was educated as a Landscape Architect at the University of Virginia and have worked on projects ranging in size from small backyard private gardens to City of Chicago streetscapes and suburban corporate and university campuses to major urban redevelopment projects in London and Amsterdam.  The primary principles and process of design are exactly the same in all of these settings but the most job satisfaction comes from being involved with projects that touch the most lives.  Working with neighborhoods in Louisville offers the opportunity to collaborate with residents, Metro agency personnel, and neighborhood leaders in the joint effort to improve the everyday quality of life of the most people.
