Who am I?
I’m a Chicagoan, an urban geographer, and a podcaster. I grew up in a walkable small town, and I've brought that love of walking and exploring places on foot with me to Chicago. I really enjoy exploring cities and seeing the rich diversity of people, places, and architecture that cities have to offer.
