Summary

I am an extremely experienced, self-motivated architect who has been de facto running an architecture firm within a management group for a regional fitness and wellness provider for the past twenty years. I specialize in both setting design vision and executing with precision and am an expert in culling/extracting programmatic needs for buildings to combine maximum functionality with a strong design aesthetic. Given that I am the sole architect in my current role, I have specific expertise in managing consultants of various disciplines over multiple projects with a strong ability to accommodate floating deadlines and budgets. I also have a keen eye for preemptively identifying & resolving project components that can cause project delays or cost overruns. Finally, I have a passionate belief in process as well as result and enjoy maintaining strong interpersonal relationships during any project lifecycle.
