Land use planner/design analyst.

I review architectural and civil engineering plans for commercial, residential, and institutional development projects.... the current project list includes a Bentley/Lamborghini dealership, a church chapel & parking area, a 5-unit subdivision, a 7-unit subdivision, a 180-unit assisted living and Alzheimer care facility, a 6-unit townhome project, and a 14,000 square-foot clubhouse and restaurant at a golf course. I can be a developer's bane or blessing.

Wrenching keeps me sane.
