About 

I recently graduated with my MArch degree from the University of Arizona, and I also have an Architectural Engineering degree from Alfred State College. After six years of education in the field of architecture my eyes have been opened to all the various ways that design affects our lives. I have a deep interest in learning more about the construction of great design and new ways of designing our world.

I have recently moved to the Buffalo area to pursue a career in architecture. Even though Buffalo isn't everyone's first choice, I believe that Buffalo has the potential in the next few years to grow and become the place that everyone wants to be. It has a rich culture and deep historical roots, which fuels my other passion of historical preservation.
