Architecture MA seeks long-term architectural career. I am devoted to an intelligent work approach commanding a smart use of time. Background in critical philosophical thinking married with an understanding of the structural rigors of real life construction. Emphasis upon writing, both critical and practical, which allows for the ability to think through a project and present it clearly. Problem solving skills derive from backgrounds in philosophy and firefighting. A creative approach comes from a skill in illustration, which supplements other projects.

The Great Books program exposes students to the great primary texts of the Western world in all subjects, including philosophy, science, history, literature, math and music. These original works (e.g. Newton's Principia) are the sole study material.
