- Working in nonprofit consulting, a small part of that includes helping nonprofits apply GIS to better plan for neighborhood change. I recently presented a paper at the Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) conference on the role of intermediary nonprofits in delivering GIS services and how nonprofts can work at community counter-mapping.
- I am also a founding member of a Grand Rapids Cohousing Community, which is the first cohousing development in West Michigan.
