About 

Architecture is my passion and within I possess a strong drive to include technology in the discovery of construction problems and solutions to design. I am always searching for new and innovative ways to improve existing systems and processes. I believe that my exposure to various global cultures has given me a firm grasp on the many possibilities of solving a single problem and approaching these in several different ways. I look to continue seeking new solutions and new challenges and as a result continue growing as an architect and citizen of the world.
