Originally born in Lima, Peru, (and after a very long 20 year layover in Florida) I now sip my morning coffees from my new home-base in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It's a wonderful city which re-ignited a lot of different passions I now dabble in. I'm a bit of a hobbyist I admit, but I find it speaks to what makes me, well, me. I drum the drums, and sing the song with a band named Slicksilver. They're pretty neat guys. I shoot the biscuit with Chattanooga Hockey, which one dear friend rightfully calls, "the greatest sport in the world," and that "we're lucky to play it!" I also nerd out with reruns of probably the greatest show about a turtle hermit and his martial arts school, Dragonball (ah, to a be a kid again). On a more serious platform, me and a few talented folks stepped out onto the forefront of virtual reality in architecture with a venture called Architour. Now everything today is virtual reality this, and virtual reality that.
And so I find myself trying on as many imaginary acronyms at the end of my name these days, like an assortment of hats that maybe Ill end up wearing one on top another. Yes, professionally I primarily am an Architect, but I invite others to see beyond that one dimension of experience. Like the old adage tried to say, "a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one," I try and let every facet of my skills be a spring board for my next project.
