I’m a landscape architect licensed in the state of New York. I also curate exhibitions, primarily through a collaborative project called Bad Little Brother. And I’m a student of historical geography, currently researching a series of civilian-led blockades of US Navy terminals in the final years of the Vietnam War.
Occasionally, I’m also a teacher and critic at schools of art and architecture: see the syllabus for my 2022 undergraduate course on contemporary architectural theory here. Even more occasionally, I write for architecture and urban geography titles like the the New York Review of Architecture, Critical Planning Journal, and the Journal of Landscape Architecture. You can see my full CV here.
I live and work in New York City and commute every once in a while to New Jersey.
I post some of my recent and ongoing work on this site. If you’re interested in working together, you can contact me here.

RESEARCH
The 1972 People’s Blockade
2024︎︎︎present
My dissertation research focuses on the 1972 People’s Blockade, a series of civilian occupations of US Naval terminals in New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina, and Washington State. If you were involved in a blockade and are interested in telling me about your experiences, please email me here. Please also reach out if you were active military on a ship that saw a civilian blockade.
Unless otherwise noted, all above images are sourced from the 1972 document “Why the People’s Blockade?” published by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC).
