About 

I am a highly experienced architect specializing in residential and hospitality design.  I have worked in the Aspen area for the past 26 years and have had extensive experience in designing, detailing, and documenting projects for extremely discerning and demanding clients.  I have had my own firm since 1999 where I have worked with numerous developers to create cost effective yet stunning homes which have consistently sold faster than similar properties on the market.  Please take a look at my website for more detailed information.
