I am a passionate design professional who cares a great deal about doing a great job. I love the details of this profession, and I try to learn something new everyday. I do not know it all, but I do know how to find it, and if I cannot find the answer I know how to ask the question. I am half way through obtaining my Architecture license, and I am looking to work with an Architect / firm who has a great sensibility of design, with a tremendous know-how of construction and building systems.
