I had the honor of attending the unveiling of the 2025 ASCE California Infrastructure Report Card. The results—a sobering C-overall grade—underscore the need to address the condition of the systems we rely on. Are our leaders doing enough to ensure these essential assets remain safe and resilient?

A few weeks ago in Seattle, I was interviewed on The Public Works Podcast. The topic, 26 Seconds—a story shaped by tragedy, resilience, and purpose. Leadership is about people, & the courage and compassion it takes to truly make a difference. 🌟 I hope you consider watching! 🎥 🎙️

Why do they call it “cone of shame?” I choose to call it our big beautiful blue Luna flower! 🐶❤️

Luna’s been a brave girl having undergone minor surgery to remove a benign tumor on her hind leg. She’s already running about, playing with her favorite toys, and keeping us on our toes. ❤️

I’m often asked if I still fly. The short answer is yes. I believe flying is still the safest mode of travel. But I also know that the aviation system is under great strain. Read more about it in my book 26 Seconds. ✈️ Available wherever you buy your books. 📚
