Introduction

I attended the January 4, 2012 Open Gov meeting and found it to be very informative. I anticipate that the Hacks/Hackers meetings will also provide useful information. I co-authored a report analyzing data from Chicago capital improvement projects.

Are you a hack (writer, photographer, content creator), a hacker (developer, engineer, designer) or both?

As a consultant to the Northwestern University Center for Urban Affairs and Policy Research in 1986, I co-authored a report analyzing data from Chicago's 1985-1989 Capital Improvement Program Budget. This is a 2 volume, 3 part, 1,500 page publication in the Chicago Public Library. Also, I authored a Neighborhood Design thesis for the Master of Science Degree in the City and Regional Planning Department for the School of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology My thesis that was published in 1977 is titled: "The Superblock and Settlement Unit with Applications to Kenosha, Wisconsin." This 356 page thesis, including numerous plans, drawings and figures, is in the Galvin Library at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.

Are you looking for partners to collaborate on a project, and if so what?

Not at the present time. I have completed 25 years as an estimator, bid proposal manager, contract administrator and project manager in a construction management capacity for General Contractors primarily engaged in renovating schools, housing projects, public buildings and park redevelopment.
