EVERY CITY NEEDS…
A leader or group of leaders who understand the bad and the good of the city and are committed to fostering change and growth. The greatest planning staff and best consultants can’t overcome the lack of city leadership.
FAVORITE CITY TO VISIT
Wellington, New Zealand! Followed closely by Sydney, Australia.
RECENT PROJECT
John recently led the Brentwood, MO Manchester Road Flood Mitigation Project. This is an incredible example of municipal leadership jumping in to fix a problem where others should have taken the lead.
“I’m proud of and humbled by the things I have helped many clients achieve in my career and the awesome planning professionals and community leaders I’ve been privileged to work with.”
