My Journey

Over the past 24 years, I have dedicated my career to design within the architectural field and have navigated the complexities of multidisciplinary collaboration—working alongside planners, engineers, and contractors to ensure every design is both visionary and constructible. This extensive tenure has granted me a unique perspective on the lifecycle of architecture, blending a lifelong passion for creativity with the technical precision and leadership necessary to mentor the next generation of designers and deliver enduring value to our clients.

I have cultivated an extensive portfolio that spans the full spectrum of residential density, from single-family detached homes to complex high-density urban developments. My journey began with a focus on low-density projects, where I specialized in discovering who I am as a young designer. Over two decades, I have evolved this expertise to address the multifaceted challenges of medium and high-density living, navigating the intricate requirements of multifamily housing, mixed-use towers, and compact urban infill.

Military Roots

Early Inspirations

My service in the Marine Corps Reserve has been fundamental to my growth as a design leader, instilling a level of discipline, decisiveness, and accountability that is rare in the private sector. The Marine Corps emphasis on mission accomplishment and "taking care of the Marines" directly informs my approach to project management and team dynamics—ensuring we are always in alignment and resilient under high-pressure deadlines. By integrating the Marine Corps’ strategic planning and leadership principles with my 24 years of architectural experience, I lead with a focus on creativity, team's ability to "get the work done", and a commitment to mentoring the next generation of designers.
