Summary

Architect with a desire to do better with every new challenge. Extensive experience in residential, and commercial project types, ranging from residential additions and new builds, to 1M+ SF manufacturing facilities, and everything in between. Currently serving as studio leader and client manager for national clients, I'm looking to return to my roots - and leverage architecture to create a positive impact on a personal level.
