I feel fortunate to have been given the opportunity to earn a living doing something that engages me. I've worked in real estate development for over 20 years, and am proud of the projects I've helped create. I think that each and every one has represented a significant improvement in their neighborhoods.

Madison Birth Center

My wife and I started the first free-standing birth center in Wisconsin in 2003. I'm extremely proud of this healthcare practice, its vision, and its outstanding outcomes. Visit the website: Madison Birth Center

Madison Music Review

I started a music promotion and review blog with two of my friends in 2007. Our mission is to help build an active community of music lovers in the greater Madison area and encourage attendance at high quality local music performances. We also provide promotional support for select local music venues, locally-owned music outlets and musical artists. . . We're not trying to be a one-stop listing for every show in Madison. Instead, we those who visit our site to trust that any show we recommend is one that we are truly excited to attend ourselves.

Volunteer Activites

I currently serve on the Board of Directors for Downtown Madison, Inc. and the Advisory Board for Capitol Lakes, Inc.

Past Work Experiences
