Currently serving on: Sustainable City Ad Hoc Subcommittee for the Public Sector
Rationale: I've been employed as an architect with Flad Architects for 31 years and a resident of Madison, until my recent marriage, since 1984. I currently live with my wife in her residence in Roscoe, Illinois but commute daily to Madison with the intent of relocating back to Madison. I've been Flad's leading sustainable design advocate since 1998. I've been the firm's Principal Liaison with the U.S. Green Building Council since 1994 and served as LEED Project Administrator on several LEED projects dating back to 1998. As a Board Member and current Board Chair of the Milwaukee-based, non-profit WasteCap Resource Solutions (formerly WasteCap Wisconsin), I've helped develop its construction waste management program and recently released online construction waste tracking tool. I was a member of the original ad hoc Mayor's Energy Task Force in 2003 and a charter member of the Sustainable Design & Energy Committee in 2005.
As an architect I've committed my professional career to advancing the tenets of sustainable design. The environmental challenges we all face are very much a consequence of how things are made, how buildings are built, and how landscapes are used. As a past and future resident of Madison, I know what a special city it is. It is with a great sense of responsibility and respect for this city that I accepted a role on the SD&E Committee and it has been my honor to serve. Madison remains my "home" and daily destination regardless of my resident address and I wish to continue my role on the Committee.
