Hi, I’m Kevin. I have a passion for urban environments, issues facing people in those environments, and the policies that are the cause (or result) of those issues.

The articles here are my own unprofessional observations about metropolitan living, when I have time to write and/or research (being a dad/husband and my actual day job often take priority). I have an affinity for transportation and helping people get from Point A to Point B in a safe, efficient way for the space and mode available. I am also interested in broader urban matters, such as housing, education, local environment, land-use, and economic policies.

I am always open to feedback and have a strong desire to learn. All research, commentary, and photography is my own unless otherwise noted.
