Amazing Cities is my platform for helping cities and towns lead with confidence, innovate with purpose, and build partnerships that deliver results. I work with municipal leagues, councils, boards, city managers, and public-sector partners to bring practical ideas into real-world action.

In 2020, I expanded Amazing Cities into a speaking/advisory platform and launched the Amazing Cities & Towns Podcast.

My approach is grounded in decades of hands-on local government experience, including service as a longtime elected leader and Past President of the National League of Cities. Whether I’m delivering a keynote, facilitating a retreat, or advising a leadership team, the focus is the same: clarity, momentum, and outcomes.

What I do

# Keynotes and conference sessions on leadership, innovation, and partnerships
# Workshops and leadership training for councils, boards, and management teams
# Retreat and strategic planning facilitation focused on alignment, priorities, and execution
#Advisory support for cities and aligned partners navigating change and community expectations

I also host the Amazing Cities & Towns Podcast, featuring conversations with local government leaders and innovators on what’s working in cities and towns.
