FOUNDER & DEVELOPER · MUNICIPAL FORM DOCTOR

25 years in IT. A practical solution for public agencies.

I'm the founder and developer of Municipal Form Doctor. After years working in local government technology, I recognized how overwhelming document accessibility efforts could become—and built a tool to help organizations get started.

My background

Built on 25 years of IT experience.

My career in information technology spans approximately 25 years, much of it serving local government.

My municipal IT career began as an intern with Kane County, Illinois, during the county's first rollout of electronic ballots. What started as a temporary opportunity supporting election technology turned into an extended internship and, ultimately, a full-time position.

Over the years, including more than a decade with the City of Geneva, I've gained firsthand experience with the challenges public-sector organizations face.

EXPERIENCE THAT SHAPED MFDApproximately 25 years in IT

From supporting election technology at Kane County to more than a decade serving the City of Geneva, my work has given me firsthand insight into the needs of local government.

The reason behind MFD

Why I built MFD.

One thing I've learned throughout my career is that many municipal IT departments operate with limited staffing. The responsibilities are extensive, but the resources available to address them aren't always.

When I began reviewing the Department of Justice's updated digital accessibility requirements, I was struck by the amount of work facing public organizations.

Many agencies have accumulated years of publicly available documents. Identifying those documents, evaluating their accessibility, and determining where to begin improvements can be an enormous undertaking.

I recognized that some organizations might not even know where to start.

That's why I created Municipal Form Doctor.

A starting point, not another obstacle.

I personally designed and developed Municipal Form Doctor to help public organizations take that first step.

The service inventories publicly discoverable documents, evaluates indicators of accessibility readiness, and provides a report identifying potential concerns and prioritizing documents for further review.

Municipal Form Doctor is not an ADA compliance certification tool, nor does it replace comprehensive accessibility testing or document remediation.

Instead, its purpose is to give organizations a clearer picture of their public documents and a practical starting point for improving accessibility.

My hope is simple: to help municipalities, libraries, and other public agencies spend less time figuring out where to begin and more time making meaningful improvements.
