About 

I attended Abilene Christian University where in 2009 I obtained a Bachelors Degree in Interior Design and an Associates Degree in Architecture.  Post graduation I proceeded as a draftsman at a local firm in Abilene, Texas where I learned most of what I know today about design and construction.  As the lone draftsman I was able to proceed in three-dimensional modeling, where I feel my true strength resides.  My employer has since retired and I have moved on to other ventures, but not without taking with me a valuable knowledge of detailed construction processes and an ability to convey those processes with my skills in computer aided drafting software.  All in all, I am an individual with a passion for design.  And, I know that that passion along with my work ethic can make me a valuable addition to any firm.
