Having graduated with Honors from Tuskegee University, I have over 12 years of meaningful experience as a collaborative Architecture and Design Professional. During my time in the profession, I have worked on a variety of complex small and large scale projects that require a creative but pragmatic mindset.
My successful building endeavors have taken me all across the country including Detroit-MI, Washington DC, Louisville-KY, and most recently the San Francisco Bay Area.
Beyond my career in the architecture and design world, I have spent a number of years studying various forms of music and learning to play an eclectic variety of instruments including: guitar, piano, drums, saxophone, trumpet, etc....
I am always enthusiastic to expand my knowledge as well as help others understand the requirements for completing a building project. In my spare time I serve as Vice President of the National Organization of Minority Architects where I am part of the efforts dedicated towards the Rebuilding Together Projects in the Bay area.
