I help fix dysfunctional schools and parks.

I specialize in quick-turnaround inspections, as well as consulting and training, for schools and parks troubled with violence or other antisocial behavior, or which simply wish to become more positive environments.

I draw on decades of experience in hundreds of schools, drawing on expertise in crime prevention through environmental design, positive behavior support and related fields.

More details are listed below. If you have questions, feel free to contact me!

I've worked with Tod Schneider on school safety issues for over a decade and regard him as the best school safety expert in the United  States. His depth of experience, accessibility, reliability, and easy-going manner make working with him productive and fun. He is also  author of the most comprehensive publications on school building safety technology extant today (see www.ncef.org). I recommend no one more highly than Tod.

I am a police department crime prevention specialist and a nationally recognized authority on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), Safe Healthy and Positive Environmental Design (S.H.A.P.E.D.) safe school design, personal safety, violence prevention, confrontation management, and related topics. Over the past two decades I have consulted  regularly to schools, educational groups and related government and private organizations,  such as the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities  (Washington, D.C.) where I have served as a writer and consultant on safe, healthy and positive school design,  and the application of security technologies. In addition, I have served groups in California, Oregon, Indiana, Maryland,  D.C., Mississippi, Georgia and Louisiana over the past half dozen years, working with the Oregon Safe Schools Summit, the Indianapolis Schools, the Rollins School of Public Health, the Northwest Regional Education Lab,the Hamilton Fish Institute, Safe Havens International, School Planning and Management, College Planning and Management, the California Department of Education, and the U.S. Department of Education Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. I am a certified Second Step violence prevention curriculum instructor at the Elementary level, and provide related interactive story-telling and original music as Uncle Bunkle (www.unclebunkle.org). I was one of the first board members for the International CPTED association, and was a founding member of the Safe Cascadia Network, a Pacific Northwest-based group implementing SafeGrowth, a sustainable model for building safer communities.
