"After 18 years in economic development and private land development, I realized that too many decisions were made without sound knowledge of the market. In government this leads to plans that sit on the shelf and in private development it leads to failed projects. We may enjoy looking at pretty pictures of development concepts, but vision without reality is fantasy.

I formed Place Dynamics with the idea that we could lead our clients to better choices - visionary, yet still grounded in reality. This is the idea that sets us apart from others. We guide our clients to choices that respond to real market opportunities. Strategies produce results. Plans are implemented. Projects get built. Businesses attain success."
