About 

I am currently working at a design/build construction and architecture firm in downtown Portland, splitting times as both an Intern Architect and Skilled Laborer.  I recently received my Master's of Architecture from the University of Oregon last June. During my time at the University of Oregon I had the opportunity to study abroad in Helsinki, Finland which was an unbelievable experience for both my personal and professional life.

Always being fond of the outdoors I have found Portland an easy city to live in, getting all the positive aspects one gets from an urban environment, while at the same being in such close vicinity to the scenic Oregon Coast and Columbia River Gorge. This is where I currently reside and enjoy living here very much.
