One way of thinking. Three areas of practice.
Government operations. Business solutions. Technology systems.
My work begins with direct observation: how people, procedures, equipment, information, budgets and decisions interact. I distinguish what needs an adjustment from what actually requires a redesign.
I began introducing computerized work documentation in municipal government in the 1990s, well before formal Lean Six Sigma training. The same approach later informed enterprise work-order requirements, executive operations, and the digital platforms I now develop. Explore selected case studies →

Reserve military service, municipal operations, leadership, and business systems development overlap throughout the journey. View full-size infographic. Active-duty service included initial training (June–August 1988) and activation for Desert Shield/Storm (December 1990–May 1991); other service was in the Reserve.
INFRASTRUCTURE INTELLIGENCE
Asset management connects field conditions to capital decisions.
From administering Stamford’s Cartegraph pavement-management system to maintaining New Milford’s cloud-based asset records, I’ve used infrastructure data, modeling and reporting to support more informed municipal investment.
STAMFORD → NEW MILFORD
Cartegraph across two municipalities
Stamford: pavement-condition records, modeling, system maintenance and management reporting.
New Milford: cloud Cartegraph updates recording completed road reconstruction and preserving current asset history.
Executive application: roadway, fleet and facilities stewardship, financial controls and work-order system planning.
EXECUTIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT PORTFOLIO
From operational problems to durable solutions.
Sixteen selected initiatives across municipal leadership, early digital modernization, systems architecture, contractor strategy, workforce safety, and digital platforms. Each case distinguishes implemented work, proposals, and reported outcomes.
Recycling and workforce redesign
Connected a major service change with recycling operations, capital planning and redeployment of employees.
Practical, lasting improvements
Introduced high-visibility uniforms and an on-site safety-footwear program for New Haven public works employees.
