What I do

I'm an Associate Professor at the Burns School of Real Estate and Construction Management in the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver. I'm a regenerative practitioner who applies regenerative development principles in my research and teaching. I'm involved in several projects in Denver that seek to apply regenerative development principles to new development projects in the city with the goal of increasing social justice and environmental regeneration. I am also actively developing new curriculum that integrates community engaged scholarship and learning.

Research

My current research interests are focused around applying regenerative development principles to the built environment. I am currently working on projects in regenerative development thought leadership, and environmental social governance (ESG), affordable housing, and mapping UN development indicators. Previous research has led to explore zoning and walkability, transportation behavior, macroeconomic determinants of real estate returns, and real estate's role in mixed asset portfolios.
