About 

I am a dedicated problem solver with a passion for architecture and detail.  I have the skills and the understanding of manufacturing industries and construction systems that will help to elevate the level competency that your clients expect.

My career has been focused on trade knowledge.  The work I have done has provided me with numerous industrial designing opportunities.  I have worked in wood, plastics, glass, steel and aluminum.  I have designed extrusions.  I have design experience with catenary structures.  I have experience with complex geometry structures.  My background and architectural training has allowed me to make connections with the design community nation wide and internationally.

I am very excited about pushing boundaries and I am very excited to apply this industry knowledge to architectural practice.
