Describe the qualities, experience, expertise and abilities that you possess that would make you an effective board member that will act in the public interest. a My background, experience and expertise spans a wide range between starting in the :ld' A hitecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry all the way to my current `41; !� ,�bsition in academics. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Civil, �i Q�` ,.,(krchitectural and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Miami. This ��✓ \� , �experience has given me expertise in working on committees and with faculty to make the best decisions for the group. Academic and government committee decision making processes share the same foundation of finding the best solutions for societal progress. 4t� My background however started in the AEC industry, and I currently own and operate Trussoni Architecture Group, a small architecture/engineering office in the City of Miami. Practicing architecture in Miami has made me very familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the Miami 21 Zoning code. My professional experience also keeps me grounded in developing practical and efficient solutions. However, the most valuable contribution I would bring to the committee is the engineering input and perspective I can contribute to the decision making process in addition to my architecture and urban planning experience. 2. Describe your educational background and general knowledge of planning and zoning. a. I hold four degrees: i. PhD in Civil Engineering (University of Miami) ii. Master of Urban Planning: Suburb & Town Design (University of Miami) iii. M. Arch (University of Miami) iv. Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering (Milwaukee School of Engineering) The goal of my education was to give myself the most well rounded foundational knowledge of the complete built environment. My knowledge in planning and zoning started in my household as a child with having a Zoning Director as a Step -Father. However, my understanding and appreciation for the multi -layered cultural, social and psychological implications of the build environment developed during my graduate education. I learned to design an urban plan and then codifying those desired built environments into either written or form based codes. As a practicing architect I also have the knowledge of being on the other side of that process, designing buildings to a client's desires and program by interpreting and implementing zoning codes. 3. Describe any prior community or personal involvement that you have had that demonstrates interest in and concern for planning and planning implementation. a. I have participated in several community planning Charrettes including ones in Little Havana, City of Coral Gables and in City of Duluth, MN. My Master's thesis was titled "Courthouse Square" and it focused on re-establishing the John Nolen plan of public spaces that existed in my hometown of LaCrosse, WI. While an Assistant Professor at Milwaukee School of Engineering I wrote many articles for both the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and a popularwebsite called Urban Milwaukee related to planning related topics. One particular article was on implementing a streetcar in downtown Milwaukee, which was completed last year. I was a board member on Historic Milwaukee, Inc. from 2009 to 2010 and I am the current chair of the Florida Engineers in Education Committee for the Florida Engineering Society. 4. Describe any planning or land use or growth management seminars that you have attended. a. I have attended two Congress for New Urbanism Conferences in Atlanta, GA and Madison, WI. While I attended many interesting sessions some that stood out to me were on public transportation related to public health, retrofitting suburbs, building safer streets, incremental urbanism and agriculture integrated with urbanism. 5. Describe any membership in organizations having the primary aim of the furtherance of dissemination of knowledge of and support of sound planning and implementation of planning programs. a. My largest accomplishment related to planning organizations was being a co-founder of the Congress for New Urbanism in Wisconsin. For several years 1 was the Vice -President of CNU Wisconsin and the chair of the Public Speaker Series where we had the likes of John Norquist and Rocky Marcoux speak to the public on a regular basis on planning topics. In the future I would like to become more active in the Urban Land Institute because it focuses on the complete built environment. 6. Describe any other activity evidencing knowledge and interest in the public purposes of planning and plan implementation. a. As a faculty member in the Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Miami I run the "Senior Design Studio". Every year we search to bring projects for the students that have urban planning challenges. Last year our projects were in the Coconut Grove NCD-2 overlay district and we worked with Jeremy Calleros Gauger of the City of Miami Planning Department to demonstrate what the proposed changes in that district would look like in built form. Two yes p r we worked with the Elizabeth Wheaton of the City of Miami Beach on a plan fgrsrthIiami Beach and plans for several parks that included strategies for sea -level rind na change. This year we are working on two sites in the City of Coral GObA with City)Manager Peter Iglesias and Zoning Official Devin Cejas that are aimed at34.41onstratial.
