Urban Bodhi
My career identity has been elusive. I consider myself a Built Environment Professional because it avoids the pitfalls associated with specialization. Experience, education and character provide the foundation for my growth into a contributing member of metropolitan prosperity. I want to be part of good city development. I want people to function within the places we build through the proper combination of civic policy and physical structures.
Pragmatism: Every project, policy or endeavor is valued through its practical consequences. Only results can validate theories. This is especially true in urban planning where long-term visions are conflicted by short-term policies.
Collaboration: Although I have an interest in several subjects I cannot master them all. Working with others in a professional manner creates growth and consensus for everyone involved.
Concise: Clarity and brevity facilitates comprehension.
Integrity: As a professional it is my responsibility to provide the technical services others are depending upon. Placation is a disservice to the client and the profession. Adherence to the values and principles I know work ensures a comprehensive and positive result in every endeavor.
Observation: I’ve learned it’s better to take a moment to watch, listen and process before contributing. Full comprehension of an issue is necessary to offer proposals for improvement or solutions.
Maturity: It took a long time to get here but nothing was lost along the way. I appreciate the path and lessons I’ve learned to discover my interest in urbanism. Upon reflection, even the smallest event has resonated in some manner to make me what I am today.
