Adrian has 30 years experience in a range of settings. Having worked for private development interests, municipalities and over 20 years as a consultant, Adrian has extensive experience in project management, feasibility studies, policy planning, land development, & more. Prior to joining the firm in 2000, Adrian worked as the Land Use Planner for Parc: Downsview Park Inc., and as the Senior Planner for the City of Whitehorse, capital of the Yukon Territory.

Adrian graduated from the University of Waterloo's School of Planning in 1995 and is a long-time supporter of the school.

Personally, Adrian is a dedicated follower of urban issues and local politics. He finds inspiration in good urban design, architecture, and smart city-building- whether here at home or in his travels. Personal hobbies include a keen interest in history, aviation and the sciences paired with a love of fine wines and a good pint.
