DON MONTAO Architectural Project Manager/Designer/Intern
EXPERIENCE
Prior to my architectural experience I was in partnership with my father designing and manufacturing machinery including turnkey biomass processing facilities. We have won national design awards and own US Patents. We conducted our business domestically and abroad. I am experienced in international business. I bring an award-winning design talent as well as a strong background in constructability issues that apply to each project I team on. Experienced in a number of project types, I am passionate about improving the built-environment for those who utilize the buildings I design - whether multifamily residential, office, or youth-at-risk facilities. I have won an award for the design of a homeless teen shelter here in Colorado Springs.
