I began writing during eight years in regional planning, beginning in the planning group at Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (now Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning – CMAP). Later I became executive director of a nonprofit environmental organization, leading this agency toward its Calumet Area Vision plan for southeast Chicago. I continued writing throughout these years about a broad range of urban and environmental issues.
My articles have appeared in regional and national publications including Illinois Issues, Urban Land, Conscious Choice and the Chicago Tribune. My interests span the metropolitan environment, ranging from urban to rural in numerous articles about people and places.
I am currently co-authoring a first book, set to appear in Spring ’09 for the Burnham Plan Centennial, about 100 years of regional planning for metropolitan Chicago.
