About 

I am a seasoned architectural designer who has worked in the Delaware Valley and New Mexico over the last fifteen years.  I've had the opportunity to work on many kinds of buildings using several types of materials.  Over time I have gone from Cad support to being responsible for the entire project as project manager.  I have a strong continuing desire to understand how to really intergrate ecological process into the built environment.  The LEED process is a start.  I have been working more in Revit and am beginning to enjoying its possibilities.  Autocad, Photoshop, and Sketch-up are all tools that I have worked with for a long while.

When I'm not working on architectural endevors, I enjoy studying Tai ji, playing panio, and chasing after my two pre-teen boys.
