The profession of landscape architecture has always been a great passion of mine. I have been fortunate enough to work on a variety of projects ranging from high end residential design, historic garden restoration, and corporate/commerical property masterplanning.
As the profession expands, so too does my skill set as a designer. I have performed a multitude of tasks such as construction documentation drafting, perspective and plan rendering, and construction management. I have an extensive knowledge of computer graphic software such as AutoCAD, the Adobe Creative Suite products, Google Sketchup, ESRI ArcMap, and Rhinoceros.
In addition to my experience as a designer I am also the Vice Chairman of the West Orange Municipal Planning Board. The board is comprised of 11 Mayor appointed professionals from the town and is tasked with adopting and updating the Township Master Plan, the Council On Affordable Housing plan, reviewing site plans, and controlling subdivisions and conditional use applications.
