Ray Delahanty | CityNerd
CityNerd is a channel and community that embraces all things cities and transportation, approaching things with a profound love for urban environments and an analytical bent. The channel was born out of my frustration over the limited scope of things I was able to explore and share as a transportation planning and engineering consultant. Soon after starting the channel, I was shocked/delighted by the number of viewers who were enthusiastic about the topics I was covering. Quickly, I had more video ideas than I knew what to do with! (Still do.)
Every aspect of CityNerd is currently produced by yours truly (Ray Delahanty). Research, writing, on-camera "talent" (cough cough), editing, engaging with viewers....yeah, it's all me. I'll update this description just as soon as I hire a crack team of researchers and cinematographers.
Check out my social media links if you're looking for more (yeah that's all me, too), and reach out to Nerd email re: collaboration, sponsorship, etc. Thanks!
