A Palm Springs native for almost 20 years, I’m a family man and designer by training. I also enjoy seeking creative endeavors while traveling to different places. My journey into architecture developed through a transformation during different periods in my life. Math was always my favorite subject. My interests in electronic engineering shifted after I took my first drafting class (where my passion for drawing in pencil was discovered). This paved a new road as I decided to pursue architecture. My determination to advance as a designer prompted me to return to college to learn and understand the process. Completing my Bachelors in Architecture has made me realize the value of education. I enjoy contributing to projects, developing the goal from inception through construction administration. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate as a key team player.
