About 

I'm a Long Island (NY) native, former New Englander (CT) and now live in Los Angeles. A first generation American of French/Russian parents, English is my native tongue but I am also fluent in French & Russian and I can get by in Spanish on the job site. My lifelong passion and devotion to building and environmental stewardship have fostered a career as an Architect and Builder committed to excellence in design, construction and sustainability. I hold a Bachelor's degree with a major in Fine Arts (sculpture) and Engineering (structural) from Dartmouth College and a Master's degree (Architecture) from Columbia University. I practiced architecture in New England for a little over 15 years where I was licensed in five states and ran my own practice out of New Haven, CT. In the 2008 crash I "went west" where I acquired CA licenses for Architecture and General Contractor and opened my current design/build practice ReSquare Architecture and Construction, in Los Angeles
