About 

I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Iowa State University Architecture Program.  Both during my education at Iowa State University and after I have been exploring my passion for redesigning and building custom motorcycles, for myself and as commissioned work.  These motorcycle projects, along with my studio work and previous employment have provided me with a diverse set of skills.  I am looking to begin my professional career, and bring with me an eye for detail, an understanding of the way things are made, and a strong aptitude for teamwork and collaboration.  I am ready to put my skills to use and learn from a team of talented designers.
