About 

20 years of experience in the fields of commercial and educational Architecture | Ability to direct complex projects from concept to fully operational status | Goal-oriented individual with strong leadership capabilities |Organized, highly motivated, and detail-directed problem solver | Proven ability to work in unison with staff, consultants, contractors and developer/owner | I desire to be an active participant on well designed buildings that have an eye to the future. A structure should, I believe, covey its intent rather than be some inanimate object. After living in London for the past four years, by way of my wives business rotation, I am quite eager to apply my acquired skills toward such endeavors once again
