Early in my career, I worked as a policy and program analyst for public agencies, including the City of New York, the California State Department of Finance, and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research.

Beginning in 1978, I spent three decades working on master-planned community development in the US and abroad. Later, I taught graduate real estate development courses at Cornell University and directed the undergraduate urban and regional studies program. From 2016 to 2020, I was a lecturer for the Runstad Department of Real Estate at the University of Washington and chaired the department for a year.

More recently, I co-authored a book about large-scale master-planned community development of the Irvine Ranch in Southern California -- https://www.thebigplanbook.com/. My co-author and I are now working on a sequel to that book.

My spouse, Rosemarie, and I reside in Scottsdale, AZ, during the fall, winter and spring. We travel to cooler climates during the summer.
