I’m Ryan, a certified urban and transportation planner based in Chicago. My expertise is in the areas of geospatial analysis, urban transportation planning, strategic planning, project management, research and policy analysis, transportation finance as well as communications and stakeholder relationships.
Currently, I am the co-founder and President of Jefferson Park Forward, a new neighborhood association in Jefferson Park, Chicago, IL. Formed in 2016, JPF has grown to over 150 members, including 25 local businesses. I oversee all aspects of the organization, leading a nine-member Board and five working committees, on a day-to-day basis.
When I’m not busy in the community, I can usually be found brewing beer, hacking away on my ukulele or tending to my small urban garden. I am blessed to have a wife and partner in all this, Amanda, and two beautiful daughters, Andrea and Natalie.
