I am passionate about buildings, construction and design. I have been very fortunate to have worked with many talented, smart and creative people who helped me become a confident professional. I am proud of my broad range of skills and abilities, having worked on varied projects ranging from historic preservation on some of the nation's treasures to new iconic buildings. I believe that our physical environment can be transformative, and I strive with serenity as my goal. I am a member of the AIA and a LEED AP.
