I've walked through more than 400 cities across 50 countries. Not as a tourist — as someone trained to read what buildings, streets, and urban spaces actually say about the societies that made them.

​

My background is in architecture and BIM documentation — 25 years of working with the technical reality of buildings in New York City. That training taught me how to look at a place seriously: not just what it looks like, but how it works, who it serves, and what happens when it changes.

​

Now I research and write about urban heritage, adaptive reuse, sustainable tourism, and the cultural cost of urban transformation. My research base is Hochschule Anhalt in Dessau, Germany. My field is everywhere else.

​

I write for people who care about cities — not as backdrops, but as places where decisions get made and lives get shaped.
