I have wanted to be an architect ever since I can remember. My passion for design stems from where I call home. I am a fifth generation Montanan. My great, great grandfather homesteaded here, drawn, he said by the power and beauty of the Rocky Mountain front. The landscape here is so dominant; seemingly endless prairie punctuated by patchy timber, wild rivers and snow-capped peaks. More than any other factor, the environment defines my design decisions. It has always been my goal to design for the setting, drawing inspiration from both the natural and built context of a region. It is my belief that in order for a building to truly be timeless, it must compliment its surroundings.
