About 

I'm a Registered Architect and Manager focused on leveraging technology for AEC project delivery. I have expertise in aviation and sports architecture, complex geometry, Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), and Building Information Modeling (BIM). 

Aside from my current role at Arup, I run a small business providing design services, construction management, and technology consulting for homeowners and small-med size architecture firms. My business also oversees a rental real estate portfolio for myself and others in which I self manage construction and remodeling projects, permitting and approvals, rent collection, and property management.
