I spent the early part of my creative life pursuing music. After working various side jobs in construction, I realized the world of designing and building was where I wanted to be. My past experiences have taught me about working on musical instruments, houses, stagecraft, lighting, and many things in-between. The discrete fields have all informed the way I think about design, and how to solve problems.
I currently live in Austin, Texas with my wonder wife Gayle. Beyond architecture, I enjoy biking, obstacle courses, NPR, and restoring vintage bicycles.
