Apparently, I was born to be an architect. Although I write and design all sorts of things like inventions, movie sets and furniture but I am always drawn back to architecture. The allure of the sophisticated endeavor that is professional practice is so much more than just designing and detailing, important as that is its all just left brain craft, its own joy but just means to an end. My enchantment resides in using my experience to deliver the total package of personal service for the client's benefit beyond their expectations. It requires the right brain that no school can teach and no computer program can render... I love it. One is the boat the other the ocean.
