I got interested in Architecture the same summer I sold my first painting at nine to a man trying to impress one of my female cousins.  An uncle by marriage allowed me to watch while he worked at his drafting board.  Public education high school architecture classes were my only “formal” training until college.

After high school, while in the the Navy I studied the building trades prior to entering college.

In College, the School of Architecture at Virginia Tech encouraged it’s students to express their design process and thoughts in a broad range of media.  During that time I fell under the influence of the Bauhaus, both Artistically and Architecturally.

After graduating in 1977 and moving to Florida the first ten years were spent doing residential design. Custom homes, multi-family projects and spec family homes. The late 1980’s through the mid 1990’s were a mix of residential and small light commercial projects.  1996 through the present has been spent doing large commercial buildings, office parks and industrial design.

Today, although some may see it as a sign of weakness, I still  design in a range of Architectural styles.
