About 

I was born in Monroe, Louisiana and went to collage at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana where I acquired my Master of Architecture.  After graduation I headed to New York with two friends in search of professional Architectural work. I have been doing construction work since I was twelve years old. I have gained a great deal of knowledge between my construction experience and my time in school.
