PROFESSIONAL THEME

The execution of the full spectrum of architectural services for innumerable building types and
sites throughout the Pacific and Intermountain West has been successfully entrusted to my care
repeatedly. This has honed sharp my project design and management abilities by repeatedly balancing
architecture, regulatory, and program requirements within time and fiscal budgets, resulting in
Owner satisfaction and predictably profitable outcomes.

As a Project Architect, Specification Writer, and Architectural Heavy Lifter knowledge and expression
of the possible is a personal specialty. Finding new ways for program requirements, scope elements,
spaces, and materials to work together synergistically while separating what doesnt work together
is the value provided, time and time again.
