About

Turning public records into public knowledge.

I'm a full-stack developer and geospatial engineer based in Lansing. I've spent about 17 years building data systems for federal research programs, statewide health and human services, and my own civic projects. Now I run RegionPulse, a small consultancy that researches Michigan public records for campaigns, nonprofits, and journalists.

I started this because Michigan's corporate filings, campaign finance records, property records, court filings, and nonprofit disclosures are spread across separate databases with no common identifiers. I built the infrastructure to pull from all of them, resolve entities across sources, and produce reports that connect the dots.

Every claim in a RegionPulse report traces back to a primary source with a URL. No opinions, no black boxes. If it's in the report, you can verify it yourself.

I don't use tracking pixels, behavioral analytics, or third-party data brokers on this site or in my work.
