About 

        My name is Nicholas Finn. I recently graduated from Cal Poly with a major in architecture and concentration in City and Regional Planning. My dream job is to help make buildings to help people live better. I am also interested in protecting the environment with sustainable design. City and Regional Planning interests me because it effects the built environment.  Land use and transportation really is interesting to me because it effects how people travel. I would like to become an architect because I love to draw, be creative, and draw floor plans. Drawing floor plans was my favorite assignment at school. I live in San Luis Obispo, California with my family. I enjoy spending time with friends and I used to play the drums.
