About 

My passion for architecture began after receiving a BA in Business Management (1999).  I spent the following decade building a knowledge base of materials through selling building supplies to contractors.  I used that knowledge to gain experience by completing interior remodels.  It became clear that “communication” is key to execute quality design.  This is what led me to pursue a BArch degree in architecture (2013).  Since then, I’ve worked for local firms such as Marengo Morton (La Jolla) and later started my own practice.  I currently operate my own design/build business which includes all aspects of design execution: property acquisition, design, permitting and construction!
