Ennead Architects, New York, NY, US, Intermediate Architect

Worked through design development and construction documents on a wide range of projects. For the renovation of the historic Cincinnati Music Hall I developed the proscenium, the stage and the house. On a State University of New York building in Cobleskill , New York I worked on wall sections, stairs, exterior site details, and developed the custom greenhouse structures. On a large NYU hospital tower in New York City I was responsible for all stairs, elevators and mechanical floors. For the proposed Educational Center at Vietnam War Memorial on the mall in Washington, D.C. I developed all exterior and site details.

Mitchell Giurgola, New York, NY, US, Architect

Was an integral and flexible member of the project team, working on several educational projects. Worked primarily on a NATO base school in Belgium. We brought the drawing set to an advanced level of design development, and passed the set off to the Belgium based firm. I also helped to correspond and coordinate the construction documents with the Belgium firm. In addition, I helped complete deadlines on an elementary school in Brooklyn and an upper education building on Cornell’s campus.

Selldorf Architects, New York, NY, US, Architect

Was brought in for a temporary position, to help complete the design development set for Abercrombie and Fitch's flagship store in Paris, France. The project was very demanding, requiring a high level of detailing and customization. The project ran on a very strict schedule, which we continually met. Following the completion of the Paris project, the office kept me on to work on a high end four story penthouse project in Manhattan. The penthouse project was canceled, and while I remained on excellent terms with this office, their work load was not sufficient to keep me on.

FFKR Architects, Salt Lake City, UT, US, Architect

Oversaw and produced several work packages that are part of a large urban mixed-use development, coordinating with multiple architects, owner representatives, contractors, engineers and other consultants. I have taken the projects from design development, into construction documents and through construction administration.
