What I'm focused on

This page is inspired by nownownow.com.

Here's what I'm focused on right now (updated September 2026):

• Building a new AI-enabled intelligent transportation practice at Esri Canada, grounded in GeoAI, digital twins, knowledge graphs, and an emerging agentic AI roadmap
• Helping cities build digital twins of their transportation networks, so they can test decisions on congestion, safety, and policy before making them on real streets
• Building AI products of my own after hours, and using them to stay close to where the technology is actually heading
• Writing Rethink Toronto, my Substack on cities, mobility, and the ideas that make urban life better
• Serving on non-profit and community boards, including Youth Employment Services
• Speaking, teaching, and translating complex technology for audiences who aren't in the room where it's built
• Parenting two teenagers, though my son just moved to Waterloo to start a business degree
• Playing plenty of squash and the occasional game of ice hockey
• Strumming my acoustic guitar and singing, sometimes around a campfire
• Travelling to cities across North America for work and for fun, meeting people and seeing how places really work
• Reading widely, listening to more podcasts than I can keep up with, and writing Morning Pages most days to stay in a flow state
