My father introduced me to art & architecture at a very early age, so by the time I was 12 years old I knew I wanted to be an architect. I was ​“the kid” in the neighborhood that could sketch ideas for tree houses or skateboard ramps and then build them. After over 40 years of practice, no matter how complicated the project is, assisting clients with conceptual visualizations and then translating visions into built environmental solutions continues to fascinate me.
