I am a transit enthusiast who works as a lawyer in commercial real estate. I tend to think about transit issues from a politics and policy perspective.
I have always been interested in smart infrastructure policy and after moving to Boston and becoming a daily T rider, I became fascinated with the complex problem of how effective transit can facilitate successful urban places and fuel our economy while being ignored by politicians and vilified by our fellow residents. I hope that Transit Matters can provide the general public with information to effectively advocate for a better transit system.
I spend much of my free time keeping up with transit and urban development news, trends, and planning. Other times you can find me dragging along my family as to explore the many great neighborhoods, squares, and parks in and around Boston. When I travel, I am a nut for exploring other transit systems while learning about the local history. I have lived, worked, or played in 43 of the 50 United States. Also I love our National Parks!
