Brendan Crain graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Honors College with a BA in English in August of 2006, and is currently the Chicago Director of Content for Neighbors Project in Chicago, IL. He is a people person, and has an intense, related interest in urbanism. This, mixed with some youthful idealism, has led him to decide that he will attempt to make "Urbanist" into a career (A non-academic one, because the thought of being an academic bores him to tears).

Brendan started his blog, Where, as part of this process, and found that it has been a fantastic investment of time as he has made some great connections and learned a great deal about cities and urban policy around the world. He admits that part of the appeal of his chosen career path is the fact that he will get to make it up as he goes along (which also happens to be part of the appeal of blogging). Brendan likes taking calculated risks, and thinks that Americans' obsessions with safety, political correctness, and antibacterial soap are what's causing the decline of innovation in our society.
