About 

Hello Everyone,

I graduated with a BSAS from the University of Illinois - Champaign in December of 2011 and am seeking employment until graduate school in the fall. I spent 6 years in the military and met a lot of great people and did a lot of traveling. It has taken a long time to reach my goals of graduating with an architectural degree, and I have to say that it really is great to be a part of this design world. I am eager to get experience so that one day I will be able to start my own firm. If you're an interested employer please drop me a line, and I would be happy to speak with you otherwise I look forward to learning from the archinect forums.
