EMPLOYMENT HISTORY DETAIL

CITY OF DENISON, TEXAS (DALLAS REGION) VIA STRATEGIC GOVERNMENT RESOURCES
Interim Planning Director January 2020 – Present

LA METRO
Senior Executive Officer, Long Range April 2017 – August 2019
Transportation Planning and Mobility
Corridors
Reasons for leaving:
1. Allow me the time for making the next step in my career, to include land use again.
2. Allow Metro to rebuild its new senior leadership team and their executive support team. In particular, this allowed
the new Chief Planning Officer to begin building his team, without the disruption of my departure otherwise
occurring later. (https://thesource.metro.net/2019/06/11/metro-ceo-phil-washington-announces-key-
appointments/).
3. Recognition that the politics of the agency shifted from launching the capital planning program to funding it
(https://twitter.com/laura_nelson/status/1212109311733682176).
4. Give me time off to support family members during a time of need.

CITY OF TUCSON
Director of Development Services February 2017 – April 2017
Reasons for leaving:
I was recruited by LA Metro, which was unexpected. Working at Metro allowed me to better support my family. Metro
also provided an opportunity to grow leadership and management skills while launching a potentially transformative
transit development program. I had been with Tucson for three months, during which I prepared a comprehensive
assessment of the Planning and Development Services Department’s issues and opportunities, along with associated
recommendations. As such, my period of service is best characterized as a management consultant. Significant
accomplishments made during this period and endured beyond my brief tenure.
