Bio

I support research and preserve information produced about and by government agencies at the state, local, and international level. I assist with data and information resources from the State of California, school districts, transportation agencies, cities, counties, the United Nations, European Union, and many other IGOs. I was an attorney law for 23 years, representing government agencies, institutional investors, and non-profits in real estate and infrastructure transactions. I have worked with and for pension funds, transportation agencies, special districts, affordable housing builders, and tax credit purchasers. Before law school, I was a transportation planner in the Washington, D.C. metro area.
