Political data analyst. Parks Commissioner. Builder of local history projects.
I launched theregional.io as a platform to share my two areas of work in the East Bay: voter analytics for California candidates, labor, and ballot campaigns, and stewardship of the places and communities I live in.
The consulting practice runs through VoterForce, a precinct intelligence product, and through embedded data leadership on candidate and initiative campaigns. The civic work is grounded in the East Bay, as a Lafayette Parks Commissioner, founder of the Lafayette-Moraga History Trail, and a deep interest in how communities organize, support each other and remember themselves.
The work splits naturally into two tracks. Same person, same care, different audiences. Below, the door to each.
I build voter analytics and run data programs for California candidates, labor organizations, and ballot campaigns. Engagements range from single-race precinct universes to embedded data leadership across a full election cycle.
I serve on the Lafayette Parks, Trails, and Recreation Commission and build local history projects in the East Bay. The Lafayette-Moraga History Trail (LMHT) is the current focus: 12 interpretive panels along the regional trail, installing June 2026.
Both halves of the work share a common output: maps and other tools that let people see and engage with a place — virtual and in-person, on a phone or on a trail. A precinct universe a field director picks up at 6 AM. A corridor history a city argues about. A canvasser app, an interpretive sign, a parks meeting where the next decision gets made. The discipline is the same. Take the messy ground truth of a place and make it readable, accurate, and operational.
Three forms recur across engagements.
Short observations from political and civic work in the East Bay. Updated occasionally.
All field notes →The notebook is opening. First entries land in the weeks ahead — analyses from the 2026 primaries, observations from the LMHT install, and the occasional argument about how campaigns actually work.
Consulting inquiries and civic outreach go through different channels. Choose the one that fits what you're trying to do.
