About Us

Place Dynamics turns information into strategy. We are experts at the collection and analysis of
market intelligence used to advise our clients on real estate development, land use, economic
development, and business development issues. Our staff bring decades of experience in fields
including economic development, community planning, and market analysis.

Established in 2005, Place Dynamics is based in the Milwaukee region with a branch office in
Denver. We serve state and local governments, non-profit organizations, and for-profit businesses
throughout the United States and Canada. We draw on the talents of a number of associates with
technical expertise, and frequently perform as a subcontractor offering specialized knowledge to
engineers, attorneys, and other professional service providers.

Formed as a limited liability company, Place Dynamics is federally certified as a veteran-owned
small business.

"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."
