I help prepare local governments for major, society-changing trends by sharing tools, tactics, and support to overcome organizational inertia.

I have seen and worked with governments in a few different ways: I was a community organizer, founding a group that facilitated municipal engagement; I was a politician, serving two terms as a city councillor (see some videos of me here); I am an eGov tech consultant, demonstrating and implementing enterprise platforms to help automate and modernize operations and citizen-facing services.

There are major shifts happening in our society, and local governments are being forced to respond. I help them understand these changes and make practical, compassionate use of technology to build a more efficient government—one that’s more closely connected and aligned with the people they serve.
