I am a seasoned architect with 16 years of experience designing, detailing and building high end residential, private estate and private country club scaled projects. I am versed in AutoCAD and prefer the old school hand drawings when it comes to progressing through design sketches with clients, team coordination or on site job execution/clarifications. I love what I do. I love being a part of a team environment as well as wearing many hats when needed.
