Welcome! I am an Associate Professor in the UW-Milwaukee Department of Urban Planning, and I specialize in sustainable transportation, including pedestrian and bicycle data collection, modeling, and safety analysis; interactions between transportation and the built environment; and multimodal travel behavior. Over the past 20 years, I worked for Toole Design Group, the UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research & Education Center, the UC Davis Sustainable Transportation Center, and the UNC Highway Safety Research Center. I earned my Ph.D. from the UC Berkeley Department of City and Regional Planning in 2011. I’m originally from Verona, WI, and my wife, Rese, and I live with our children Stella and Jake, and our three dogs, Copper, Ludo, and Ori.
