I'm looking to participate to a collaborative environment that values research, conceptual rigor, and constant ingenuity in an effort to create an architecture that is visually compelling, humane, and compatible with the notion of the architect as environmental and cultural steward.

I'm also really drawn to the notion of working on an issue without a crystallized solution already in mind, and the exhilaration that accompanies the process of its discovery - design as an act of reverse archeology. Inherent to this attitude, I enjoy working in a team environment with importance not necessarily placed on hierarchy, but enthusiastic input - a process that leads to a mentally tested architectural axiom based not on individual inspiration, but a natural selection of ideas and concepts.

Aside from architecture, I like to spend my time writing and recording music. While in Austin, I spent several years writing for and performing in a band with some great friends (The White Hotel). We wound up releasing an album, playing shows around town, and receiving some pretty solid reviews. It was a great time that I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience.
