My passion and interest is learning and working to develop a small neighborhood ancestry/aging in place plan (SNAP) for urban, aging communities.

The opportunity to utilize the 8 urban principles; THE PLACE=transportation, health-wellness, historical preservation, housing for us, education training, entrepreneurship, economics and environmental sustainability in public land-use and community engagement.
My goal is to assist and consult community stakeholders on sustaining the community's need assessment, appearance and security for socioeconomic growth for the built and natural environment.
