I’m Joe- I work on complicated systems where rules, equipment, and real-world conditions collide. 

 

Sometimes that means helping towns make sense of messy land-use regulations.  Other times it means building or repairing equipment when nothing “off-the-shelf” quite works. 

 

My goal is to take complicated problems and turn them into systems that are clear, workable, and durable.   

Municipal Land Use Systems

Clarifying regulations, improving commission processes, and helping towns handle difficult land use situations.

Lab Equipment Design & Specialty Fabrication

Design and repair of equipment not available “off-the-shelf.”

Marine Systems & Classic Sailboats

Repair and fabrication for older sailboats where original parts are no longer available.

Wetlands Agent Resource Center

Practical Resources for wetlands agents, commissioners, and planners.  

– Case Law and Explanations

– Commission Process Guides

– Enforcement Situations

– Templates and Tools

 


I'm always interested in unusual mechanical, marine, or regulatory problems that need clear thinking and practical solutions.
